How can you see signs in the heavens if you do not know how to read them? The scriptures talk about events surrounding Jesus Christ that were represented by astronomical signs and about future events marking his second coming. It must be remembered that in the Book of Mormon, Samuel the Lamanite was not the president of the Church, nor was he a prophet, Nephi was.

Der große Naturforscher und Universalgelehrte lässt Muschelverkalkungen und Sternschnuppen vom Ursprung der Welt erzählen, berichtet von Schwarzen Löchern, fernen Kometen, der Schönheit der Natur der Tropen und des Eismeers. Er lehrt uns das Staunen und weckt in uns die Lust, weiter zu fragen: Wie schön wäre es doch, wenn man mehr wüsste... Humboldts populärwissenschaftlichen Kosmos-Vorlesungen, die die Keimzelle seines großes Werkes bilden, lauschte einst halb Berlin - vom Arbeiter bis zur Hofgesellschaft.

Thanks to the various components that have been put together, the International Space Station is bigger and brighter than all other artificial satellites. With relatively low power magnification, people can see the solar panels radiating outward from the numerous international modules which make up the ISS. The reality of that platform, at the edge of the ocean of space, is pretty astounding when looked at from the perspective of history. Only 120 years ago, mankind did not know if it was possible to fly in a heavier-than-air vehicle.

Using the power of the sun, moon, stars, and planets, this unique guide is filled with engaging exercises that deepen your knowledge of the solar system, help you take necessary pauses every day, and foster a renewed sense of presence in the universe.

This year marks the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s use of the first telescope. On this week’s show, we reflect on how telescopes have changed our perception of our place in the universe, how small we are in size, space, and time. Our guests include Dava Sobel, author of The Planets, Vatican Astronomer Father Chris Corbally, and astronaut Paul Richards.
