Is Nibiru for Real?

Evidence of a Ninth Planet in our Solar System?

Most of us were raised learning about the nine planets in our Solar System. Pluto was the ninth planet, back then. But in more recent times, science downgraded Pluto from planetary status to "dwarf planet". Thus, the students of today learn about the eight planets of our Solar System. 

However...  more and more astronomers are coming to believe that there really is a ninth planet out there - one that has been hidden from our view, yet is detectable in other ways. Conspiracy theorists call it Nibiru, or Planet X...  Is Nibiru for real? Consider...

Tonight's Sky

Close Approach of Jupiter and the Moon

Tonight, when the waxing gibbous moon is 11 days old (90%), Jupiter (Tsedek in Hebrew) will be only a finger width away from it. This means that the two heavenly bodies will visually be only about 2 degrees apart.

This close approach of Jupiter with the moon will take place within the constellation of Gibbor (the Strong man wrestling the serpent), which is now known as Ophiuchus. To see the exact location of Jupiter within this constellation, at its closest approach to the moon, click here.

Tonight, you will be able to view Tsedek (Jupiter) with the naked eye. And it will be easy to find, being only about a finger width to the right of the moon. If you use a good pair of binoculars, you might even be able to see Jupiter's moons. 

What is the spiritual message of Yahweh through Jupiter (Tsedek)? To answer this, go to my April 27, 2019 blog, which was on this planet.

The Summer Sky - Part 2

Viewing the Planets

This summer many of the planets will be viewable in the skies of the northern hemisphere. The following is how and when to sight these planets:

During the months of June and July the planet Mercury (anciently called Kokah in Hebrew) is viewable from sunset to about 10:30 PM. Where do you look? Mercury will be in the sunset. In Biblical times, planets were known as "wandering stars" because they moved about the starry field. Kokah means "star" and is a reference to Yahshua and to His followers. As it says in Daniel 12:11, "they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament and they that turn others to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."

Venus, called Nogah in Hebrew, will rise in the

east during June at about 4:30 AM for a short morning view. In July, Venus will be a little easier to see because it will rise at 5 AM. Nogah means "brightness" and "bright morning star" and is a reference to Yahshua.

Mars will set at about 10:30 PM in June and at 9:45 PM in July. Mars Biblical name is Ma'adim (Hebrew) meaning "bloody". It is a planet which often indicates war and strife, when used in prophetic signs in the heavens.

Jupiter, which was known as Tsedek (Hebrew

meaning "He Who Judges in Righteousness"), will be visible after 8 PM in June and 9:45 PM in July. Tsedek is a beautiful reminder of the righteousness of Yahweh.

And Saturn, the Sabbath planet will rise about 10:20 PM in June. In July and August it will rise around sunset and stay up most of the night. 

So, be sure to get out and look up. The weather is beautiful with the warmth of summer and that makes sky-viewing all the more ideal. Enjoy!

Huge Metal Mass Found on the Moon

On the Moon's South Pole

We don't hear much about the moon's south pole. It's the side of the moon which faces away from us. But in the past decade, we've been learning new things about our nearest neighbor. Most recently scientists have discovered that there is a huge mass below the moon's surface.
On the south pole of the moon, there is a mass of metal which is estimated to weigh 2.2 quadrillion tons located about 300 km below the moon's surface.

What created this metal mass? Scientists are unsure. Some suggest a metal meteor may have impacted the moon and become embedded in it...  The above video gives a bit more information on this interesting discovery. Please disregard the dates, of course.

A Closer Look at our own Star

The Amazing Sun 

The closest star to Earth is, of course, our Sun. There is nothing quite so impressive - near to Earth - as our Sun to demonstrate the great power of our Creator! So, just for a moment, let's take a closer look at our nearest star - our own Sun, called Chammah, in Hebrew. The more we discover about the Sun, the more powerful we learn that it is. Thus, in Scripture, the Sun is often used a metaphor depicting the power of God and the endurance of His mighty Throne.

Psalm 84:11 "For Yahweh God is a Sun and shield: Yahweh will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly."

Psalm 89:36  "His seed shall endure for ever, and His Throne as the Sun before me."

The Sun is a near-perfect sphere of hot plasma. Plasma (not to be confused with blood plasma) is one of our four fundamental states of matter, which are: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A plasma is a hot, ionized gas with approximately equal numbers of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons. It has different characteristics from ordinary, neutral gases, which is why a plasma is considered to be the fourth state of matter.

The surface of the Sun is dynamic with an internal convective motion, which generates a magnetic field. It is about 864,000 miles in diameter (1.39 million kilometers), which is 109 times larger than Earth. Also, the Sun's mass is about 330,000 times more than the Earth. It's mass consists of hydrogen (about 73%); while the rest is mostly helium (about 25%) with small quantities of heavier elements including oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron.

The Sun's surface appears to be churning, seething, and at times even exploding into space.
The Sun's surface experiences solar flares or magnetic storms. These appear to be a very bright spot on the sun and a gaseous surface eruption. 

A solar flare releases huge amounts of high-energy particles and gases, which are ejected thousands of miles from the surface of the Sun. Recently, scientists discovered that solar flares can cause powerful sunquakes (which are violent seismic events) on the surface of the Sun. When a sunquake occurs, energy is released in seismic waves on the relatively fluid surface of the Sun. Sunquakes are powerful and would rate about 11.3 on the Richter scale, which means they release about 40,000 times more energy than the famous 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

Another impressive way the Sun releases energy is the solar prominence. A solar prominence (also known as a filament) is an arc of gas that erupts from the surface of the Sun. Prominences can loop hundreds of thousands of miles into space. The following video clip shows a massive solar prominence. This image was taken in 2011 by NASA's Sun-orbiting, Solar Dynamic Observatory.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBL1RBj-P1g

The scale of this prominence is huge. The entire Earth would easily fit under the arcing curtain of gas. 

But as impressive and awe-inspiring as this star is, consider how much more powerful must be its Creator! Scripture tells us that our Creator breathes out stars - like our Sun, yes, but many more are so massive that they make our own Sun appear no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence!

Psalms 33:6  "By the Word of Yahweh were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His Mouth."

Keep that in mind the next time you're tempted to think you're troubles are too big for God to handle!

Top Ten Most Dangerous Places in the Universe - Part 3

#3 A Blue Jewel of Stained Glass

HD 189733b is an amazing exoplanet, which clearly demonstrates that our wonderful Creator has made many worlds for tremendous beauty. 

Now, before I tell you what the conditions are like on this beautiful exoplanet, let me first remind you that the things our Heavenly Father has made out there in the universe did not all need to be "hospitable" to carbon-based life-forms. After all, in Yahweh's Universe, only Earth contains fallen beings, who are mortal and who can be harmed by such amazing places as HD 189733b.

This amazing exoplanet is located 63 light-years away from Earth. And to look at it there glistening in the sky like some kind of collector's-edition marble one must admire the jewel-like beauty of this remarkable place.

Although HD 189733b appears almost Earth-like in its blueness, it is very unlike Earth. The temperatures are about 1270 K on its surface. And it rains glass - sideways. The blue color comes from silicate particles in the planet's atmosphere which scatter blue light, glistening in the air like amazing shards of "stained" glass. The glass grains would be flying around in the planet's 4000 mph wind, which causes it to rain glass sideways on HD 189733b. 

And while we can truly be thankful we don't live on such a place as this, we can also see that the wise Creator didn't make HD 189733b for our forms of life. Had He intended such it surely would not be as it is. But, instead, Yahweh has made a place of breathtaking beauty. No its not a place to land and walk about. But viewing it from space, we can appreciate and admire our loving God's blue jewel exoplanet of stained glass!

#2 Venus - Hot Planet of Beauty from Afar

Continuing our blessing counting as we examine more of the conditions on other planets, today I will tell you of the conditions of Corot-7B. Corot-7B is an exoplanet (which means it orbits a star that is not our Sun, outside of our solar-system) which orbits the star (sun) Corot. In the image below, you can see Corot-7B (the black dot) as it makes its transit across its sun, Corot.

Corot and its exoplanet Corot-7B are sighted in the night sky between the constellations Canis Minor (the small dog constellation) and Lepus (the hare constellation).

In 2007, the French-built COROT (the T is silent - its a French thing) space telescope discovered the exoplanet which we now call Corot-7B. At the time, it was the most Earth-like exoplanet ever discovered. Just as an interesting side-note, exoplanets are often named after the telescope that was used to discover them. 

The discovery of Corot-7B was officially announced on February 3, 2009 during the COROT Symposium 2009 in Paris, France. Corot-7B was an especially exciting discovery as it was a planet with a surface you could walk on! 

An artist's rendering of what things might look like on Corot-7B

However, after astronomers examined it more closely, they quickly determined that you would never want to go out for a stroll on Corot-7B. Not only is its surface temperature extremely hot (on the side facing its sun) it rains rocks! How can that happen you ask?

Well, Corot-7B is orbiting too close to its star ("sun"), Corot. This close orbit causes the planet to be unable to turn, being tidally locked by the strong gravitational pull of Corot. On the side of Corot-7B which always faces its "sun" it would be perpetually daytime and super hot - hot enough to vaporize rock! Yes, in case you didn't catch that, I did say vaporize! So, on Corot-7B, the rock doesn't just melt, it vaporizes, going up into the planet's atmosphere.

Then, on the night side of the planet, where the temperature is much colder, all that vaporized rock would condense to form "mineral clouds" - and rocks would fall like rain - or perhaps hail is a more appropriate analogy. Anyway, if you are going to go for a walk on Corot-7B, you're going to need much more than an umbrella to deal with the weather. Aren't you glad you live where an umbrella is usually enough?

#1 Venus - the "Hell" Planet

Many times we overlook our blessings. But, in fact, Yahweh is blessing us all the time - and in many ways that go unnoticed by us. Lest we be tempted to take His blessings for granted I thought it might be of interest to take a look at some of the blessings God has provided us on this planet. In fact Earth, even after the Fall, is a home for humankind that is filled with blessings more than could be listed in a single day. So, let's get a little perspective on our Creator's loving blessings by considering what living conditions are like on some of the other planets... of which these (that I will be talking about in this miniseries) are the worst in known-space:

Venus is often called Earth's "sister planet" because it is very close to Earth in distance from the Sun and in size. Venus is about 95% of Earth's size. Because of its similarity to us in size and distance, many evolutionary scientists actually thought it might be home to life, prior to the 20th century.

But upon closer inspection, as physicist Steve Tufte explains it, Venus has conditions "well-matched to Dante's visions of hell." What makes it worthy of such a description?

Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet in our solar system and much of its surface is covered in lava. Its temperature averages to more than 730 K, which is hot enough to melt lead. 

But that's not all...  Even if the temperatures of Venus were more hospitable, it still wouldn't be a very good place for human life. The surface pressure on the planet is equivalent to the pressure diving submersible vehicles encounter at more than half a mile underwater. In other words, the pressure on the planet's surface is triple to what has been encountered on the deepest dive ever. Such tremendous pressure would crush most carbon-based life forms - including people!

But the beautiful-to-look-at, planet Venus isn't done...  No, in fact, it offers a triple death threat to life-forms which God has placed on Earth. The third of Venus's lethal conditions is its toxic atmosphere. The planet is surrounded by a thick cloud of sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is a highly corrosive chemical which is potentially explosive in its concentrated form. If humans come in contact with it, it can cause severe skin burns, blindness, and it can even burn holes in the digestive tract if swallowed.

So, as we consider what the conditions are like on Venus, we find many reasons to thank our loving Creator. We can enjoy the beautiful Venus as it shines in the night sky, all from the safety of our cozy planet. And as we breathe in, we can thank Yahweh for the blessing of our air. And as we experience 97 degrees F, we find ourselves without reason for complaint. And as we walk across our green lawns and enjoy the beautiful flowers, or look at the lofty mountains in the distance, we can rejoice that they aren't seething volcanoes causing the surface of our Earth to remain in a molten lava state. 

Wow, Venus! It's a nice place to look at, but I wouldn't want to live there!
