Donald Trump has sacked the leader of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics for providing the labor statistics. Truth and reality are SO important. This is where the Church of England comes in.

There are just so many facts confirming that Jesus was the temporarily visible third of the Invisible Magic Friend, born to a virgin and ascended into the sky on a cloud, that I don’t have time to list them all. And clearly, he appointed a distantly related descendent of William the Conqueror to run his church for him here on earth.

Facts are facts. There’s no good denying reality.

… a new star appeared in the sky – during the day.

Our ancestors, on the verge of inventing writing, farming and metallurgy, would have looked up in wonder and speculated on the meaning of this unprecedented omen. Only a few hundred generations later, some of their brighter progeny put together a box that was capable of photographing the remains of this spectacular stellar explosion.

As you can see, there are quite a few gaps in my images of the Veil Nebula. The southern half of the nebula is completely missing at the moment. It’s a huge object. If I compare it to a full moon you’ll see what I mean.

I’m hoping to fill in some of the blanks over the next few weeks. But as the summer draws on, the constellation of Cygnus will start to descend in the west. It’s touch and go whether I’ll complete this project in time. Here are some close ups of the bright East and West portions.

Like almost everything this time of year, the Veil Nebula is located in Cygnus the Swan, or the Northern Cross. Start by looking south towards the summer triangle of Vega, Deneb and Altair. Deneb and Vega are almost overhead at midnight.

Then look at the top left star, Deneb. It’s at the top of the Northern Cross. The star that marks the left most point of the cross is Aljanah. The Veil is just below it.

Apparently, in good conditions and with the right equipment, it’s even possible to see the Veil Nebula in binoculars.

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, the news. Isn’t the news just awful. It’s terrible. It’s miserable. We’re all doomed.

This is exactly what the prophet Jeremiah was on about. We, and by we I do of course mean you, must change our wicked ways.

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, Happy 50th Anniversary of the Helsinki Accords everybody! This was where all the major nations promised to pursue peace and human rights in a way that has made the world what it is today.

Pope Leo mentioned them. Isn’t he just brilliant. And weren’t all his predecessors too. They pointed out that there can be no peace without freedom of religion. The Catholic Church has always promoted freedom of religion, especially when it was the one being oppressed rather than the one doing the oppressing.
