Towering waves. 

Joel Kontinen  

“Towering waves more three times the size of the sun are crashing on an enormous, distant star.

The star in question is paired with another in a highly elliptical orbit. As the stars swing close together, their gravities pull on each other to produce tidal waves, much like how the moon creates tides on Earth. This stretches the stars, causing them to bulge out at the equator, which makes them seem brighter for a while,"

Space is wonderful, But we do not know anything that God has created, We would not expect to see little green men on this star or its planet.

The "four-legged fossil fish" known as the coelacanth has been found alive and well in the West Indian Ocean off the coast of Madagascar, according to a report from the nonprofit environmental conservation platform Mongabay News.

According to evolutionists, the fish lived some 420 million years ago, but then in 1938 the first living coelacanth was discovered. Now, they are being captured by fishermen catching sharks.

Now scientist have discovrerd that the fish can live for  hundred years.

An Agrican bird called thegreater honeyguide can tell. honey badgers  (Mellivora capensis) where there is honey. Scienrists supposed that thois was just a myth but there seems to be something in this relationship, , 

Nature is full of surprises

A giraffe born in the USA is rare, It is a  brown female  giraffe that was born on July 31, "the world's rarest" of the species and believe that she's the only solid-coloured reticulated giraffe (Giraffa reticulata) in the world, 

If it had born in the wild, it would probably die, as in the savannas in Africa ,  coloured patches camouflage the animals from predators,

A newly discovered comet that is approaching Earth may have as its origin from outside the solar system.

That is what evolutionists  suppose, as they have a  source of comets just outside the solar system, in theo Oort cloud, which may also be the origen to this comet. 

A japanese amateor astonomer astronomer Hideo Nishimura found the Comet Nishimura. It will be as its closes to Earth on September 13,.

Pleistocen extinctions caused by climate change

Many large vertebrate species went extinct during the late Pleistocene.  

Scientist do not know what caused these extinctions remains. However, climate change and human impacts have been suggested, they suppose that the La Brea tar pits in California where many animal fossils have been found tell a story of  fire-related ecosystems—and large mammal extinction has been discovered.

Glory to God in space

Space is full of wonders. For instance magnetars are neutron stars with “extremely strong magnetic fields.”

Astonomers do not know the origin of those fields. one example ithe amplification of a magnetic field in the core of the parent star, the “amplification of a magnetic field in the core of the parent star, which produces the neutron star during a supernova explosion.”

So as i said, spaceis fullof wonders that speak of the glory of God, ,
