A Mega Star Cluster
Gazing out into the universe is a radio telescope called the CSIRO Parkes, which is located in Australia and is manned by an international team of researchers. It is sensitive to radio energy not light. Astronomers have known for years that cosmic radio energy is created, as naturally as heat and light, by such things as quasars, galaxies, molecular clouds, supernovae and pulsars. But, what makes this instrument so important is what it is capable of delivering in astonishing new information. It has located a very powerful quasar PKS 2000-330 at a record distance of 20,000 million light years and detected the least luminous pulsar known only 150 light years away. Today, the telescope has caught an enormous cloud of cosmic gas and dust in the process of collapsing in on itself – a discovery which could help researchers learn how massive stars like our Sun form? It is in the results of these scientific discoveries that one truly can marvel at the incredible presence and creative work of the Creator!
