Luke 21:25: And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Fox News is reporting the following, in part:

• The explosive death of a massive star has broken the record for longest-lived light show.

• Observations from NASA's Swift satellite have revealed a so-called gamma-ray burst for which the afterglow remained visible for more than 125 days.

• When a star that's 10 to 25 times as massive as the Sun checks out, it can release, in a matter of seconds, the same amount of energy that the sun will radiate over its 10-billion-year lifetime.

What made this supernova event unique was both its duration and intensity. While a supernova event almost always wraps up in a week or two, this one started off so brightly that its afterglow lasted for 125 days, with its glow remaining consistent throughout the majority of that period of time!

This was no every day event in the stars, but colossal in scope - yet another reminder that Jesus Christ is Lord and He is coming soon!

Maranatha!
