Elm SrrG.0 n fhrrt, lllinoir ' PHONE 3a50le Gradually man learned more about the uni- verse. The voyages of exploration in the 1400's showed him that the earth was not fat, but round. Astronomers discovered that the earth was not the center of the universe. Man learned that the earth is only one of several planets which revolve around the sun. He learned that the sun itself is a star of only average size and brilliance among a hundred billion stars in the Milky lVav udlaxy. Modern astronomers have gone further. They know that the fundamental units of the universe are the stars. The clusters of stars are called galaxies. 'W'e live in one called the Milky $Vuy. There are as many gilaxies in the universe as there arb stars in the Milky \iluy. The dimensions of the universe are impossible for the mind of man to grasP, as it measures thousands of millions of light years. A light y@t is the distance light travels in a single y@r, moving at the speed of 186,000 miles a second. The 200-inch Hale telescope on Mount Palomar in California can see as far as one billion light years into sPace. If you boarded an interplanetary train which travelled at the speed of ao exPress train today, it would take you 700,000,000 years to get to the Pole Star. No wonder the Psalmist asked in amaze- ment of a God who created such a universe: "I(hat is man that Thou are mindful of him?"
