Greetings!

We are nearly at the end of our second day of school. We are beginning to find our rhythm, even though yesterday was a bit unusual.

We really enjoyed viewing the meteor shower yesterday. It was certainly worth the effort of getting up early. Some things are better experienced, rather than to merely read about them.

In keeping with this weeks memory verse (Psalm 19:1) we are continuing to fine unusual things in the sky to learn about. I thought I would post a few to share with you. The above photo is a picture of the Ruby Galaxy or Messier 83. The picture was taken by the ESO/MPG 2.2-meter (7.2 feet) telescope in Chile's mountainous Atacama Desert on August 25, 2008.

Enjoy looking at the pictures and if you would like more information, be sure and leave us a message in the comment(s) area.

Blessings!
Cheryl
