Philippians 3:20

Let the heirs of the kingdom behave themselves suitably to their character and dignity. Live as having the faith and hope of this glorious kingdom: Let your conversation be in heaven. Let your souls delight in communion with God while you are on earth, since you look for your happiness in communion with him in heaven. Let your speech and actions savor of heaven; and in your manner of life, look like the country to which you are going.

Thomas Boston (1676 – 1732)

ASTRONOMY PICTURE OF THE DAY: The Antennae Galaxies. Credit: NASA, ESA & B. Whitmore (STScI) et al.; Image processing: Davide De Martin. When two galaxies in Corvus collide, the stars that compose them usually do not, because galaxies are mostly empty space and stars take up only a small amount of that space. During the slow, hundred-million-year collision, one galaxy can still rip the other apart gravitationally, with dust and gas colliding, and massive molecular clouds being compressed, causing the rapid birth of millions of stars, some gravitationally bound together in massive star clusters.
