I have never been to Aussie, Neb, but being close neighbours we get a lot of aussie docos and stuff on tv and you are right. their sunsets out back, especially up nth are breathtaking.

Still, I bet you have darker skies (less light pollution) in NZ than we do here in the Baltimore-DC corridor.

Not quite sure what you mean by darker skies Neb, but to a dummy like me the skies are either grey or blue. All I ever learned at school was the bell rang to start and rang again to finish.

LOL - astronomy geek terminology.

"Dark skies" mean night skies without "light pollution" - the glow from artificial light in the atmosphere that prevents us from seeing all but the brightest stars.

Not related, I know, Nebula....but have you downloaded the new version of Google Earth yet, which also now incorporates Google Sky?

You can zoom out around the universe now, as well as viewing just the earth. It is free. You just need to download the new version (Earth 4.2)

Just thought you might be interested, since you are into these kind of things

Here is a link, which has a short video clip showing what is on offer:

There are places in Arizona where you can still get far enough away from the city lights to see most of the stars. The Outback is good too! Haven't been back to Australia in years, but would like to. Another place for good seeing is on a boat 60 or more miles at sea. Then its great seeing.

Hello Everyone... I enjoyed reading your dialogue.

With regard to our friendly skies...

Our focus on 9/11 comes from the appearance of the seventh new moon.

The seventh new moon is the time of salvation... that is what God set in motion via Moses.

It is not a coincidence that God's people looked to the sky to wait for the appearance of the seventh new moon (to begin the Feast of Trumpets)... and today, God's people look to the same lunar signal for salvation. This is what Trumpets speaks of: salvation.

It is not an abomination to look to the sky (moon) for divine understanding. God required his people to do so. How else could they know when to start the Feast of Trumpets?

It is not a coincidence that Paul referred to the last trumpet... and the last trumpet sounds on the Feast of Trumpets.

It is not a coincidence that our celestial signs include the blood red moon and the celestial sign for Trumpets was the seventh new moon.

We are to look to sky... to the appearance of the seventh new moon... the one that will turn blood red marks our salvation!!

More Scriptures...

THE LAW OF MOSES, THE PROPHETS, AND THE PSALMS

Regarding divine prophecy, Christ said:

Hello WhySoBlind,

The Scriptures are written in the heavens and the heavens are written in the Scriptures.

It is impossible to separate the two... and for very good reason.

GOD
