Psalm 8

O LORD, our Lord,

How majestic is Your name in all the earth,

Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!

From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength

Because of Your adversaries,

To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,

The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;

What is man that You take thought of him,

And the son of man that You care for him?

Yet You have made him a little lower than God,

And You crown him with glory and majesty!

You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;

You have put all things under his feet,

All sheep and oxen,

And also the beasts of the field,

The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,

Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

O LORD, our Lord,

How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

Here is a photo of the "Sombrero" galaxy, from this site.

Just take a moment to look at it. See all the points of light surrounding the Sombrero?

Now look closer. All those points of light are other galaxies. There are some that look like streaks of light; those are galaxies like our own Milky Way, with arms.

Look at the bottom left, you can see two galaxies that look like they are merging. Astronomers say they just look that way, and that they are probably very far apart.
