238another remarkable picture by nasa

238)Another remarkable picture by the NASA website of a clear night sky.

The NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day website put up this remarkable

picture today of the night sky as seen against the backdrop of the

Grand Teton mountain range, part of the northern Rocky Mountains. This

is particularly pleasing for me personally because I just drove by

this mountain range during my travels in recent days:

Clearly seen in this picture are the Milky Way in the vertical plain,

planet Jupiter, star Arcturus and the famous Big Dipper grouping of

stars. I blogged about the Big Dipper here:

The Arabic names of the stars in the above post speaks to a time many

centuries ago during the Islamic Golden Age when Astronomy was

ascendant.

Islam, eminently logical, placing the greatest emphasis on knowledge,

purports to understand God's creation:Aga Khan 4(2006)

The God of the Quran is the One whose Ayats(Signs) are the Universe in

which we live, move and have our being:Aga Khan 3(1952)

Our interpretation of Islam places enormous value on knowledge.
