Hello all,

 

Today was surfing around and found a page on Mira star, which says the name Mira comes from the

 

root word "Miracle".   http://www.astro.uiuc.edu/~kaler/sow/mira.html

 

This page is a part of an absolutely marvelous site named "Stars".

Created by Jim Kaler, Prof. Emeritus of Astronomy, University of Illinois

 STARS presents a comprehensive suite of pages that tell the stories of stars and their constellations.

STARS now contains:

• 112 constellation photographs that include all or parts of all the 88 constellations;
• their labelled versions;
• all the constellations of the Zodiac;
• the stories of 515 stars (added to by doubles and multiples) that include:
  • the luminaries of all of the constellations presented;
  • the 137 brightest stars through third magnitude Zeta Persei, magnitude 2.85);
  • all the Alpha stars but one;
  • 39 stars and their planets from the Planet Project (indicated by "#").

The heavens truly do declare the glory of God and in the short time we have here, looks like lots

 

of God's handiwork will be seen and enjoyed.
