Specific Theory of Existence: January 2021

Elaborations

The essays (trials) on this site are always subject to editing and revision. This Sunset Stroller blog is a God is Existence site, addressing secular atheist thought from former atheist viewpoints for the benefit of the poster. Many with atheist views eventually realize they were more opposed to the dysfunctional spiritual culture of their church experience than to God, once a clear definition attributable to God Himself was considered. Persuasion is disengaged. Comments welcome. Spencer Corkum SiteMaster for the Strollers and the QuoteBlokes.

Explanation: This complex of beautiful, dusty reflection nebulae lies in the constellation Scorpius along the plane of our Milk Way Galaxy. Its overall outline suggests a horsehad in profile, though it covers a much larger region than the better known Horsehead Nebula of Orion. The star near the eye of the horse and the center of 5 degree wide field, is embedded in blue reflection nebula IC4592 over 400 light-years away. The horse's gaze seems fixed on Beta Scorpii, also named Graffias, the bright star at the lower left. Toward the top right, near the horse's ear, is another striking bluish reflection nebula, IC4601. The characteristic blue hue of reflection nebulae is caused by the tendency of interstellar dust to more strongly scatter blue starlight.
