Aerial photographer Bernard Edmaier captures a breathtaking array of the planet’s colors, from white glaciers to red lava to blue seas.
Have you ever wondered why the Earth is tilted instead of just perpendicular with its plane of orbit? Scientists have taken a crack at answering that question. The main consensus is that it has to do with Earth’s formation along with the rest of the planets in the Solar system. This time in cosmic history … Continue reading "Why is the Earth Tilted?"

Worship Him Who Made by Clayton and Bell This beautiful piece is part of a larger mural illustrating Bible stories and emphasizing that God is the Creator of all things in Heaven and Earth: Space and time, stars and planets, light and dark, plants and animals, the human race, all his handiwork. We think this picture is really cool. The sun and the planets have an elegant, almost science-fictional look, even though this was done in 1865. The swirls and ribbons look a lot like the whorls on Jupiter, which their telescopes had not yet been able to reach or reveal. A perfect picture for anyone who wants a beautiful declaration of the glory of God in the worlds he has made. The mural is from St. Michael and All the Angels Church of East Yorkshire. The church was originally built about 1132 A.D., but by the 19th Century it was in need of considerable repairs and refurnishing. The firm of Clayton and Bell, primarily known for their stained glass, were hired to do the murals. We don't know if this particular style had a name, but it is visibly part of that river of Western art that flows from Romanticism through Pre-Raphaelite and Art Nouveau to 60s art and Peter Max. We think it's beautiful. Enjoy! The next mural in the series is "Heaven and Earth," and can be found on our shop here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1514014444/heaven-and-earth-from-the-series-worship ** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER!
