MINDING THE HEAVEN

This posting is dedicated to my long-last interest about the magnificent beauty of The Universe. FYI, deep in my heart, I always wanted to pursue a tertiary education in the field of Astrophysics (The only reason stopping me getting a scholarship pursuing this field is that, it's kind of new in Malaysia, so, limited working places there is, but still, 1 day, I will take it, seriously. Ha2)


I often marveled at the dark starry night sky during childhood. The feeling of how small are we actually - humans - in this whole entire universal system reminded me of how little do we exactly know about things - yet, there are this so-called Gurus' who claimed to be deities* literally, of course.

Now, let begins the therapy of how small we are in this unmeasurable expanding universe!

Here is our beloved Earth
considered the most beautiful of all
with it's distinction in supporting life.
The Earth is about 40,000km in diameter.
Existed approximately 4.54 billion years ago.
Natural satellite, The Moon.

This is The Earth compared to
other planets in The Solar system,
which consists of 9 planets altogether.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto
- although, lately the existence of Pluto
is being controversially debated

Here is our beloved Sun
as compared to the neighboring stars
around Milky Way.
(L to R: notice the tiny Sun,
the white star a.k.a. Sirius, Pollux, Arcturus)

This the image of our Sun
as compared to other greater giants.
Notice that Arcturus is almost invincible
when compared with giant white star a.k.a. Rigel,
Aldebaraan, Betelguese & the brightest star
visible to the naked eye during 31st May
each year at the Northern & Southern Hemispheres, Antares.

This is where our Milky Way Galaxy
is believed to be in place.
Imagine, our solar system
(the 9 planets & The Sun)
is only part & parcel
of the Milky Way galaxy & at the same time,
our galaxy is also part of millions of other galaxies
co-exist with each other scattered
along the vast mat of The Universe!

So peps, isn't it's time for us all to realize the fact that how small we are? Yet, humans are barbarically invading each other, killing & massacring the weak, conquering & destroying civilizations, ethnic cleansing, wealth distribution disparity, etc.


The time has come where the notion that - human race is full of greed, exploiting others for the sake of one's victory - should be abandoned. The ripe time for us to realize the fact that we are indeed the force that will bring balance to the dying Mother Earth is no better than NOW & it begins with YOU!

Look upon the Heaven but on Earth our virtues should be

Till the next posting.
