A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, Janaury 11th

Good Morning, God,
The headlines were about science recently. It seems that 461 new potential planets have been spotted. This has happened due to the orbiting Kepler telescope that is taking pictures of the constellation Cygnus - specifically, 150,000 stars!  It looks at an object three times before that object may even be considered for planet-hood. Of course, all of the photography and analysis is done by computers, with the computers sending the resulting data to the scientists.
You know, O Lord, our God, how majestic is you name in all the earth! When we look at your heavens, the moon and the stars which you have made, what are we that you are mindful of us and our children, that you are mindful of them? Yet, you have made us a little lower than the angels and have crowned us with glory and honor.
Heavenly Creator, may we always wonder about your creation, explore it, and use the results to be more amazed about you and all of it!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
