“Who knows, in 100,000 years the emerging Grand Nebula in Cassiopeia may replace the fading Orion Nebula as a favorite object for amateur astronomers.”

“Who knows, in 100,000 years the emerging Grand Nebula in Cassiopeia may replace the fading Orion Nebula as a favorite object for amateur astronomers. In the meantime, I think it will be a favorite target for professional astronomers trying to solve the riddle of massive star formation.”
“the meaning of life is perfect perpetual change. Life=Change Alive=Changing matter is recombining in such a way as to create perfect energy. the moment perfection is achieved it is removed from our universe (returning to god). where there once was energy there is now nothing, a big bang occurs, process repeats until all possible combinations of matter to energy occur.”

“The rainy Pleiads wester, / Orion plunges prone, / The stroke of midnight ceases, / And I lie down alone.”
A. E. Housman
“Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? / Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? / Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? / Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? / Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are? / Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart? / Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven, / When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? / Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, / When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait? / Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.”
Bible
“Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Job 38:31”
“Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.”
