VATICAN CITY (AP) - Believing that the universe may contain alien life does not contradict a faith in God, the Vatican's chief astronomer said in an interview published Tuesday.

The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes,   more...the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, was quoted as saying the vastness of the universe means it is possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.http://my.att.net/s/editorial.dll?pnum=1&bfromind=7401&eeid=5872818&_sitecat=1505&dcatid=0&eetype=article&render=y&ac=-2&ck=&ch=ne&rg=blsadstrgt

"How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere?" Funes said. "Just as we consider earthly creatures as 'a brother,' and 'sister,' why should we not talk about an 'extraterrestrial brother'? It would still be part of creation.  less

The Lion and Lamb Ministry Christian TV Show Apr 11 2007 Today’s Message: The Question of The Creation

The Lion and Lamb Ministry’s opinion on this very important topic…

11-Jan-2006: In one of the most detailed astronomical images ever produced, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is offering an unprecedented look at the Orion Nebula. This turbulent star-formation region   more...is one of astronomys most dramatic and photogenic celestial objects.


The crisp image reveals a tapestry of star formation, from the dense pillars of gas and dust that may be the homes of fledgling stars to the hot, young, massive stars that have emerged from their gas-and-dust cocoons and are shaping the nebula with their powerful ultraviolet light.

The new picture reveals large-scale structures never seen before, according to C. Robert O'Dell of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, USA "Only with the Hubble Space Telescope can we begin to understand them," ODell said.

This sequence zooms on three ground-based images and ends up with the new Hubble image of the Orion Nebula M42.

Here's a little opener on the topic of Astronomy. Being a much more intuitive way of grasping the things that happen to us in our own universe,

our own planet, distances in the universe and some basic   more...and useful arguments that are very intuitive and very powerful against ignorance and

closed-minded arguments.

Unidentified Object floating over the Moon. Captured by Italian Astronomer.


Tracked while adjusting the focus of the scope
April 29,2007
location: Busto Arsizio, Italy 45.600°N, 8.852°E. Elevation:   more...214 m
Time: Tracking beginning: 10.52pm
Celestron C8 +6mm orthoscopic eyepiece projection Meade LXD75 Mount
Camera Unibrain Fire-I Board - 640 x 480 B&W
Capturing software AstroIDC on MacBook Pro
Note: the capturing software was set to grab 300 frames x movie so I couldn't track the event in continuous mode. This is the cause of the gaps between the movies.
The path on the background image is due to the stacking while the object moved through the moons surface.

Italian astrophile films UFO hovering over the moon
Alberto Mayer, astrophile in Busto Arsizio (VA) managed to film a UFO crossing the moon very slowly, stopping, curving and going outside the satellite in another direction.
He edited all the videos and overlapped them to a static image of the moon to show clearly the object's anomalous motion.
"On the night of April 29, I was trying to focus my camera attacheded to the telescope. The high zooming factor and atmospheric turbulence were causing issues to the focusing steps.
The moon appeared "waving" but I immediatly noticed the presence of a small black dot in the corner of our satellite. At first glance I thought it was just dust on the lens of the camera. After taking a better look I saw the dot moving very slowly and it had the classic "distortions" produced by "bad seeing" (atmospheric turbulence). At this point I immediatly tried to start filming the object getting images as clear as I could."
