-Albert Einstein

Scientists discover Earth-like Planet!

Hello Students!

I hope you are enjoying your Easter Break thus far- Happy Good Friday! While reading USA Today with my morning coffee I came across the following article/video.  Scientists using the Kepler Telescope (you all should remember Kepler from our Science discussions!!! :)  ), have discovered a planet similar to Earth- 

way cool!  

Remember that God has made space vast, beautiful and mysterious, and a discovery such as this in NO WAY removes Him or diminishes His glory. It only highlights what an AMAZING, STAR BREATHING, AWESOME GOD who LOVES US and SENT HIS SON as a SACRIFICE for US, we have!
