The Pleiades
An open cluster in the constellation of Taurus, dominated by young, hot blue stars, and surrounded by a blue reflection nebula. It lies 375 light-years away and contains several hundred stars.
Orion
Part of a giant cloud of gas and dust (nebula). The Orion nebula is a 'star factory' and is an example of an emission nebula (nebulas are usually cold and do not shine, but an emission nebula lies near a hot star and absorbs energy from the star and its gases glow like a vivid red fluorescent light).
Amos 5 : 8 (NKJV)
He made the Pleiades and Orion;
He turns the shadow of death into morning
And makes the day dark as night;
He calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the face of the earth;
The LORD is His name.
Psalm 8 : 1 (NKJV)
O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is your name in all the earth,
Who have set your glory above the heavens!
Psalm 8 : 3, 4 (NKJV)
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which you have ordained,
What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?

Exactly what I read this morning through Choice Gleanings! :) What a wonderful reminder of how mighty our God is and that HE IS IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING! :)
Yes! The verse from Amos 5 prompted a deeper search of the stars. This Swallow hardly touched the surface of this study. The Creator HAS to be great..we need only look at His creation..yet He cares for us! Wonderful, isn't He?
