Two spiral galaxies locked in a mighty conflagration forming stars & streaming trails of gas & dust. In a few billion years their cores will merge & they’ll settle down to form a large elliptical galaxy with a back hole at it’s centre.Shame I’ll miss that. 📷R.Gendler & ESA/NASA

Really enjoying this version of Mary's song from Luke 1 this Advent - 'Canticle of the Turning'

"My heart shall sing of the day you bring
Let the fires of your justice burn
Wipe away all tears for the dawn draws near
And the world is about to turn"

“our destruction of nature is not just bad stewardship, stupid economics, or a betrayal of family responsibility; it is the most horrid blasphemy.”

@tom_bray Came across this article the other day

Even in a purely economic mindset the potential benefits are huge. But as the article says, communicating large diffuse benefits is difficult, especially when they may be hard to see

@MadsDavies whereas two years of studying NT Greek has led me to conclude that most of the time most translations are far better than what I could do!

[Simon Walters @simonthewalters]

@MadsDavies after hearing that I've studied Greek, I've had quite a few people say to me "oh you must be able to work out what it really says now!", as if translations are inherently hiding the real text

[Simon Walters @simonthewalters]

@RevdRich enjoying these - a lot to think about!
