[The Librarian]

Hoag’s Object is a mysterious, ring-shaped galaxy located about 600 million light-years away from the Earth in the direction of the Serpens Caput (Serpent’s Head) constellation. Its diameter is about 100,000 light-years. It consists of an outer ring and an inner ball of densely packed stars. The two are separated by a gap, as can be seen in the above Hubble Space Telescope picture of the galaxy. The outer bluish ring is thought to consist of younger stars, whereas the inner yellowish ball is thought to consist of older stars. What created this unusual shape of the galaxy still remains a mystery. ***(See below)*** BUT!!!! A very interesting coincidence is the presence of yet another ring galaxy located far, far behind the Hoag’s Object; it is visible through the gap between its outer ring and its inner ball, roughly near the “one o'clock” position! Do you see it?

As Jehovahs people our hearts and even our eyes swell up with joy seeing such things because we know Jehovah is the creator of such a miraculous, mysterious creation. How do you feel knowing without a doubt that one day you are going to be able to ask our father the Great Almighty, What, why, how? Does it have to do with things here on earth? (Meaning does it align the way the earth is centered anything???? what is it’s purpose!? Does it have one? Does it just keep new stars in the sky? We will have that grand privileged to ask such questions. I’m really excited about that. And I can’t wait for me, just like you as an individual to be honored with that privilege! What would you ask Jehovah?
