Need a website of pictures of the constellation Orion in the North nebulae?

Question

Job in the Bible speaks about an "empty space" (Job 26:7).Although the Heavens are filled with stars where ever the telescope can reach,it seems that behind the North star there is an empty space.for that reason it has been suggested that this could be the third heaven.One of the most inspiring and thrilling of recent disclosures to astronomers is that there is a great empty space in the North in the Nebulae of the constillation Orion.A heavenly cavern so gigantic that the mind of man cannot even comprehend and so brilliantly beautiful that words cannot adequately describe it.What has been found,Job wrote about;"He stretched out the north over the empty place..."(Job 26:7).All astronomers agree there is a huge opening over the constellation Orion which is perhaps more than 16 trillion,740 billion miles in diameter.This opening is 90,000 times as wide as our earth's orbital path.However,past it's size is it's beauty.Its colors are unlike any here on earth.The photographs (I'm looking for) of its opening reveal the interior of a cavern so great that our entire solar system would be lost in it.The interior is like that of light shining and glowing behind the clear walls of ivory and pearl,studded with millions of diamonds like shining stars.There must be some reason why all this grandeur is lavished on one area in the Heavens.They give the appearance of a pavement of starry sand.Astronomers although not religious,say they feel like they are in some almighty presence.

Answer 1

Hello Brittain -

Here's the first website I found when I searched for "Orion nebula." The opening is not a "recent disclosure"; in fact, it's been pretty well known since it was discovered in 1610. Certainly it's sort of cozy and familiar to amateur astronomers, who observe it regularly on winter evenings in the southern sky. Since it represents only a small but well illuminated portion of our own arm of the Milky Way galaxy, there is really nothing special about it, other than it's aesthetically pleasing appearance. It is nowhere near the north star. If you seek empty spaces, I would direct your attention to the regions between galaxies, where you can find aching emptiness that makes this looks like what it is - a puddle of vacuum blasted out of the galactic gas and dust by the birth of the Trapezium stars. It's pretty big when you compare it to the Earth, but it's really miniscule compared to the known universe.

Answer 2

To find some pictures, look up "Orion nebula" in google, and then click "images."

It is mighty pretty. But it's in the south, not the north. So I doubt that's what Job was referring to.

> There must be some reason why all this grandeur is lavished on one area in the Heavens.

His grandeur seems to be equally lavish all over the place. This nebula looks terrific to us because we are relatively close to it. But there are equally grand nebulas in every direction--just harder to see because they're farther away. If we were located in some other corner of the galaxy, we'd likely see other things in our sky surpassing Orion's beauty.

Just because you can´t comprehend it doesn´t mean the rest of us can´t... There is a lot of empty space up there (enough to fit entire galaxies let alone a tiny solarsystem) but no "heavens". Not even one. Sorry.
