The ROAR in heaven

As a child I always looked up at stars in the sky. The wonderment and amazement of the shear size of it overtook me. I used to wonder, "who did all that, and how did that get there, what keeps them in place".........as an adult I know who did all that, and who holds it all together. Studying astronomy has been a hobby of mine since I learned to read. The wonder and amazement of it all still overtakes me, even as an adult. Which brings me to why I'm blogging about it. I read a story today on FoxNews....an excerpt:

LONG BEACH, Calif. —
Space is typically thought of as a very quiet place. But one team of astronomers has found a strange cosmic noise that booms six times louder than expected.
The roar is from the distant cosmos. Nobody knows what causes it.
Many objects in the universe, including stars and quasars, emit radio waves. Even our home galaxy, the Milky Way, emits a static hiss (first detected in 1931 by physicist Karl Jansky). Other galaxies also send out a background radio hiss.

But the newly detected signal, described here today at the 213th meeting of the American Astronomical Society, is far louder than astronomers expected.
There is "something new and interesting going on in the universe," said Alan Kogut of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md
ARCADE's mission was to search the sky for faint signs of heat from the first generation of stars, but instead they heard a roar from the distant reaches of the universe.
"The universe really threw us a curve," Kogut said. "Instead of the faint signal we hoped to find, here was this booming noise six times louder than anyone had predicted."
Detailed analysis of the signal ruled out primordial stars or any known radio sources, including gas in the outermost halo of our own galaxy.
Other radio galaxies also can't account for the noise — there just aren't enough of them.
"You'd have to pack them into the universe like sardines," said study team member Dale Fixsen of the University of Maryland. "There wouldn't be any space left between one galaxy and the next."
The signal is measured to be six times brighter than the combined emission of all known radio sources in the universe.

For now, the origin of the signal remains a mystery.

WOW!, I thought to myself......a loud noise in the universe no one can explain. I immediatly thought of this verse:
....I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude in heaven , like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult, and give him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come" Revelation 19:6-7 (ESV)

It just makes me wonder, could the roar of heaven have finally reached the earth! Maybe, maybe not, maybe its the exploding of a distant galaxy, but one day the earth and the heavens will declare with one voice, "Hallelujah, for our Lord, God, the Almighty reigns"........
