for the post. and for sharing =) Stars are an incredible thing... I often think about this section of the Quran:

Surah Waqiah (56): Verses 74-76

Therefore ( O Muhammed), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.
Nay, I swear by the places of the stars -
And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew -

Amazing Aya, I'm always astonished to read these Aya's again while the first time I merely looked over.
The amazing thing about this Aya is the oath, many of us do not know what an oath meant for
the Arabs, it was like life and death. The oath was everything for a man, he would rather die than to break his oath.

And to hear this oath come out of the mouth of a Man (s) who was seen as the Trustworthy in his
times, the Arabs must have been blown away.
