"Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;" Gen 1:14 NKJV
"The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork." Ps 19:1 NKJV
"The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's; But the earth He has given to the children of men." Ps 115:16 NKJV

Job 38:31-33 "Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the belt of Orion? Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season? Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs? Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?"
The cosmos do have an effect on the earth!

Astronomy has been a hobbie of mine since I was ten (10) years old. It was then I wanted to be an Astrophysicist but that path was terminated for me when I was seventeen (17) years old. My ultimate goal with this site is to make it a great resource for learning astronomy online. At present I am unable to find a website dedicated to teaching novices all about astronomy. While my site doesn't not yet achieve this goal, I hope to achieve this in years to come, even if it takes me 10 years. I'm not in any hurry. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the links below.
