In its first glimpse of the heavens following the successful December 1999 servicing
mission, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a majestic view of a planetary nebula,
the glowing remains of a dying, Sun-like star. This stellar relic, first spied by William Herschel
in 1787, is nicknamed the "Eskimo" Nebula (NGC2392) because, when viewed through ground-based telescopes,
it resembles a face surrounded by a fur parka. In this Hubble telescope image, the "fur parka" is
really a disk of material embellished with a ring of comet-shaped objects, with their tails
streaming away from the central, dying star. The Eskimo's "face" also contains some fascinating details.
Although this bright central region resembles a ball of twine, it is, in reality, a bubble of material
being blown into space by the central star's intense "wind" of high-speed material. |

wrong to follow uninformed teachers, and our suggestion is that the
reader investigate
for themselves

error. Published in Latin in 1536.

The Four Gospels chronologically ordered
A supposed work by Richard
Worth of combining the Gospel
scriptures into chronological order, apparently
very similar to the harmony of the Diatessaron.
The
Diatessaron was an early compilation of the four Gospels in harmony of time,
written by Titianus a
round 170-175 AD. I
recommend reading the "Last Supper "to
have a better understanding of the
order of events at
the Lord's Passover table. The golden link is an excerpt taken from Mr.
Worth's
chronological rendering of the Gospels.
