Surprises from the Edge of the Solar System <- INTERESTING!
"The heliosheath is important to humans," continues Stone. "It helps protect us from galactic cosmic rays." Galactic cosmic rays are subatomic particles accelerated to nearly light speed by supernovas and black holes. Astronauts out in space are exposed to the particles—and that's not a good thing. Cosmic rays can penetrate flesh and damage DNA. Fortunately, the heliosheath deflects many cosmic rays before they ever reach the inner solar system. "Magnetic turbulence in the heliosheath scatters the particles harmlessly away."

EXCERPT:

We desperately need to stay spiritually focused at this moment in history, as admittedly difficult as that is in this world with its numerous distractions. We likewise need to be very goal-oriented! Our goal, among many signs pointing toward the soon-coming return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, should be to reach as many lost souls as we possibly can as quickly as we possibly can and lead them to faith in Christ, all the while keeping ourselves spiritually sober, ready and waiting for the Rapture call of the Lord to come! Am I being alarmist? YES! YES! YES!
