THE SUN AND THE MOON MOVE BY PRECISE CALCULATION (55:5)

A massive cluster of yellowish galaxies, seemingly caught in a red and blue spider web of eerily distorted background galaxies, makes for a spellbinding picture from the new Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. To make this unprecedented image of the cosmos, Hubble peered straight through the center of one of the most massive galaxy clusters known, called Abell 1689. The gravity of the cluster's trillion stars plus dark matter acts as a 2-million-light-year-wide lens in space. This gravitational lens bends and magnifies the light of the galaxies located far behind it. Some of the faintest objects in the picture are probably over 13 billion light-years away - Source: Wikipedia 1 light-year is the distance to travel in a speed of light for a year. There are billions and trillions of galaxies in the universe. 1 galaxy consists of billions & trillions of suns. Our Sun orbits in a galaxy named The Milky Way Galaxy. Just imagine how vast Allah creates this Universe. Before Hubble, when man thought the Earth was flat, and the Sun dont move, Allah Mentions of His creation in Quran "The sun and the moon [move] by precise calculation" Surah Ar-Rahman verse no. 5 (55:5) "It is Allah who erected the heavens without pillars that you [can] see; then He established Himself above the Throne and made subject the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. He arranges [each] matter; He details the signs that you may, of the meeting with your Lord, be certain." Surah Ar-Ra'ad verse 2 (13:2) The solar system (and all other solar systems in the galaxy) orbit around the centre of the galaxy, just as the Earth orbits around the sun and the moon orbits around the earth. It takes the Solar System about 225250 million years to complete one orbit of the galaxy (a galactic year), so it is thought to have completed 2025 orbits during the lifetime of the Sun and 1/1250th of a revolution since the origin of humans. The orbital speed of the solar system about the center of the Galaxy is approximately 220 km/s

NGC 4414, a typical spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices, is about 55,000 light-years in diameter and approximately 60 million light-years away from Earth.

Coma Berenices is a traditional asterism (a pattern of stars recognized on Earth's night sky) that has since been defined as one of the 88 modern constellations
