MONTESSORI THE GREAT LESSONS : Formation of The Stars




The Story of The Universe


Formation of the Stars

 Some stars are so far away from us that it
takes millions of years for their light to reach us,
even though light travels 186,000 miles in one
second. God gave them special laws which they
have always obeyed. They seem free, whirling 
dizzily through space with nothing to stop them,
but they are all tied to their courses by an
invisible string which is the will of God.

 Two of these drops were our world and our sun,
which move on their own courses through space. 
The earth moves around the sun, but it travels
 like a spinning ball, ceaselessly revolving
around itself and always revolving
at the same speed. 


 When God's will called the stars into being,
there was no detail He had not planned. 
Every scrap of the universe, every speck
which we might think too tiny to matter, 
was bound to behave according to
the rules He had made.


For the drop of the blazing cloud which
became our world, He decided that there 
should be no longer be chaos. Instead
of burning confusion of gases, there
would be air and water and rocks.
