Magi, the Magical Wisdom

Magi
because
Venturing out
is Magic

Wisdom
is magic
Taking a leap of Faith
is also magic

Packing up for the Journey
Being willing to be Lost
Asking for help
and directions

Glorifying others
Going to an unknown land
Honoring a child
Listening to a woman
a mother
not having to be informed by an angel

Completing the journey
and going home
to tell to the story

Putting all the pieces together
to have a realization
of how this is going to effect
and change your own
life

having an epiphany
is what being a Magi
experiencing the magic
of Christmas
Is all about

May you follow that
Star of Faith
all year

Advent: Follow the Star Day 20

Image
In space, being outshone is an occupational hazard. This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image captures a galaxy named NGC 7250. Despite being remarkable in its own right — it has bright bursts of star formation and recorded supernova explosions — it blends into the background somewhat thanks to the gloriously bright star hogging the limelight next to it. This bright object is a single and little-studied star named TYC 3203-450-1, located in the constellation of Lacerta (The Lizard), much closer than the much more distant galaxy. Only this way a normal star can outshine an entire galaxy, consisting of billions of stars. Astronomers studying distant objects call these stars “foreground stars” and they are often not very happy about them, as their bright light is
contaminating the faint light from the more distant and interesting objects they actually want to study. In this case TYC 3203-450-1 million times closer than NGC 7250 which lies over 45 million light-years away from us. Would the star be the same distance as NGC 7250, it would hardly be visible in this image.
