The Cross

Do read http://www.ksb.org.za/Summary/sermons/2010/20100404_central_cross.htm

The picture you see below is a shot of the central region of the Whirlpool Galaxy (Messier Object #51)

The next picture shows the constellation Crux (the 4 bright stars a little left to the centre).

It so happened that, on the night before my first Holy Communion, i opened my window randomly and looked out into the sky to see this constellation right in front of me :)

This is the structure of the biological molecule Laminin, present in the body

A shot of the sky which resembles the Cross
