No, you probably do not have to get your life in order just yet. The cosmic “hand of God” photo released by NASA is actually the result of the explosion of a star and the ejection of an enormous cloud of material.
It was captured by NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, and produced from high-energy X-rays. Given the cuts in NASAs budget (while continuing to spend hundreds of billions on foreign wars), it is surprising the hand did not offer a more profane message.
I see three fingers and a thumb. Does that make god a cartoon character? Hope not.

Thank you for asking on my behalf anon posted. I have a link only that posted, but I’ll try it here: http://privacysos.org/node/1293
Maybe the “hand of God” could check to see if Jill had a comment or two snagged by WP? Thanks, in advance.
Looks more like an alligator claw to me.

Dredd, Actually, I’m a horrible editor. If I didn’t have a great secretary my clients would have thought I was dyslexic.
And, after I wrote that, I thought of the great character in Lonesome Dove, Pea Eye. Not the sharpest arrow in the quiver.

I dig.
I have had good secretaries too.
Without them people think I am a poet. 😉

If you retire from that, you could become an Editor with that “editor’s eye” of yours.

Of course the atheists are quick to jump in to dissemble any indication that this might actually be the “hand of god”. My they are a touchy bunch.
The U.S. is the biggest market for Chinese goods, how about a tariff that will pay off their portion of the national debt in a couple of years?
JT,
Since the “Hand” is destroying some solar system, isn’t it scripturally more likely that war in heaven thingy?

Will the lost continent of Atlantis finally be found….. Is this a sign…..

Their descendants are in DC (Economists – Aliens From Cygnus?) sinking yet another civilization – ours:
(Clash of the Titans of Export – 3).

The “NSA” typo is definitely Freudian, or maybe Orwellian?
==================
Good eye Nick. The military NSA no doubt spies on NASA scientists too.

Wow! Lol @ Prof. JT’s first sentence: ‘No, you probably…..’

That’s the hand of God in the same way a puppy in a cloud is actually a puppy.
Seems to be a good place to listen, a la SETI, for signals from old civilizations if there are any.
Our current scientific understanding is that all stars go into decline after supporting any carbon-based life forms on planets orbiting them.
Many of those stars go nova, or like our Sun, expand out to disintegrate or otherwise destroy the planets near them before shrinking back down into white dwarfs or the like.
That would mean that the oldest life, assuming evolution takes place on planets orbiting them, would be in those solar systems where the stars are at the end of their “life.”
Perhaps SETI should listen for “cries for help” or “we are outta here” signals in those locations (No Need To Shoot In The Dark).
