THE GREATNESS OF GOD — Discover His Glory

suns and could swallow our entire solar system. Speaking about the discovery, one of the astronomers said: "This black hole could swallow our solar system whole." To ponder on such discoveries reveals a treasure trove provided by the universe to attain a higher realization of God. According to the scientists, the black hole, and the galaxy hosting it—a huge blob of stars known as M87—is as large as the orbit of Neptune and by far the largest and most distant galaxy in the nearby universe. As a point of comparison, the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way is 1,000 times smaller than this one which has been observed some 50 million light years away. A black hole is a region of space from which nothing, not even light, can escape. It is the result of the deformation of spacetime caused by a very compact mass. When such facts as these come to light, they serve as great treasure troves for God realization. These events tell us of the greatness of God’s power to an unimaginable extent. To the one who thinks seriously about these scientific discoveries, his heart will tremble at the glory of God and the hairs on his body will stand on their ends.
