Astronomy teaches us that the smooth and unclouded

Astronomy teaches us that the smooth and unclouded sky is a massive collection including countless suns which are moving like gaseous molecules and are plying quickly in a very different world. “Nasr-e-Vaghe” is swiftly approaching us by 13 kilometer per second; “Alddabaran” is leaving us by 53 kilometer per second, “Semak-e-Rameh” is swiftly moving in a circular orbit by 135 kilometer per second, two farthest stars of Great Bear are moving to the other side of the galaxy while the other stars of this constellation are moving to a contrary direction with an incredible speed.

Our solar system isn’t separated from this destiny: the sun is perplexedly moving to a corner of our solar system by 19 kilometer per second and in this endless way, it is carrying the earth and other planets which are in our solar system while another solar system accompanied by its galaxy, that is like a big fiery carousel rotating around itself, is traversing in a large orbit by 240 kilometer per second.

The age of our sun is much lesser than the age of galaxy while our earth is much younger than our sun and it has been formed about four billion and five hundred million years ago. “Sheral-e-Yamani” seems to be nine years younger. “Parvin cluster” that we can watch it was formed about five hundred years before it. At an unclouded and clear night we can observe a big cloudy segment which located at the near of Merto-al-Mosalsaleh and produces a weak light. This cloudy accumulation is called Sahabi Stars.

The outer parts of the galaxy seem to have the same condition as it had in two million years ago. We aren’t able to talk about the things which happened to the measureless stars since that time. The galaxy of Merto-al-Mosalsaleh is the last border of mankind’s observation but, with the help of telescope, we can move forward billions of light years.

The lights emitting from these cosmic bodies to the distant world are called “fossil light”. In fact, these lights have been discovered from the fossils that were found on the earth. The amazing thing is that a weak light which can’t passes from a transparent layer or a dust’s particle has traversed hundreds million of kilometer by a speed of 300 kilometer per second.

The appearance of these lights, which are arriving to us from a very distant way, stabilizes the relative emptiness of outer space and reveals an image from the enormous system of creation (which has a great involvement in directing the lives of all creatures) and convinces mankind to shout wholeheartedly and say “الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ”.

By dividing sky to many parts and photographing from each part, it will be possible to count the stars of welkin. This work is being done in the observatories. For example in the observatory of Harvard University, a type that fills an area of 35 in 35 centimetres, shows more than two thousands galaxies, but the amount of galaxies which constitute the world is about five hundred million years.

How many stars exist in each galaxy? The boundaries of some galaxies have been counted. A young astronomer has counted more than two million stars which are separated from each other. According to these precise observations and experiments, the stars of one of our galaxy are about one hundred billion stars! Paying attention to these realities makes an impartial and wise person to bow before the glory and the splendor of God and leads him to devotedly say with his all internal and external essence that: “الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ”.

There are some amazing titles in the book of “science and life” about the conditions of the subsistence and the things which occur around us and also the things which influence our life and which are nothing except the presentation of the Almighty God’s power. This book explains these matters thusly:

What’s the form of water? What are the constituents of water? How water helps us? How water enters in air and how it leaves that? What are the reasons of wind’s blowing? How air humidity affects on the condition of space? What are the reasons of climatic differences in the different parts of the world? How old is earth? Which kinds of power cause earth to be damaged? Which kinds of power cause the mountains to be created? How clay has been formed? Which precious stones are mined from the earth? Which fuels are obtained from the earth? Which structural stuffs are gotten from the earth?

How the heat comes and how it is measured? How can heat be transferred from place to place? How is it run? What is light? How we see the things around us? Why things consist of colors? Where static electricity comes from? How to use the magnetic? How electricity is produced? How the current of electricity is transferred to us? How the sound comes? What are the differences of sounds with each other? How we hear?

How we can travel on mainland? How we can travel on water? What are the reasons of seasons’ formation? What are the plants and animals made out of? How the bodies of animals and plants have been made? What animals and plants can do? How the plants are useful to humans? How the animals are useful to humans? How the plants are reproduced? How animals reproduce?

Why we need to food? What type of food we need? How the green plants produce our food? How our food is digested? How the digested food is sent to all parts of the body? How energy is produced in the body? For answering to any of these questions, we need a voluminous book and according to the words of Fakhr-e-Razi, the great learned of fifth century, even one million books aren’t enough to counting the graces and blessings of God.[1]

Indeed, in front of this owner and trainer, all of us should sincerely say: “الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ”
