God made two great lights ... He made the stars also. (Genesis 1:16)

The Veil nebula (NGC 6992) in Cygnus, Thierry Legault

You can see this image much better at Thierry Legault's site. I really appreciate his allowing me to share his wonderful images.

This makes me think of something I heard recently (can't recall where) which pointed out that God's overflowing creativity and generosity goes far beyond our ability to imagine. Because, the speaker said, think of the unbounded universe with all the stars and wonders we are just discovering. Just out there for its own sake, not for anything that we need.

Blew my mind.
