This artist\u2019s impression shows a sunset seen from the super-Earth Gliese 667 Cc. The brightest star in the sky is the red dwarf Gliese 667 C, which is part of a triple star system. The other two more distant stars, Gliese 667 A and B, also appear in the sky, to the right. Astronomers have estimated that there are tens of billions of such rocky worlds orbiting faint red dwarf stars in the Milky Way alone. \u00a0(Image from European Southern Observatory)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3\u00a0<\/span>And God spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I am the Lord God\u00a0Almighty, and\u00a0Endless\u00a0is my\u00a0name; for I am without beginning of days or end of years; and is not this endless? . . . \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>\u00a029\u00a0<\/span>And he beheld many lands; and each land was called\u00a0earth, and there were\u00a0inhabitants\u00a0on the face thereof.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>\u00a030\u00a0<\/span>And it came to pass that Moses called upon God, saying:\u00a0Tell\u00a0me, I pray thee, why these things are so, and by what thou madest them?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>\u00a031\u00a0<\/span>And behold, the glory of the Lord was upon Moses, so that Moses stood in the presence of God, and talked with him\u00a0face to face. And the Lord God said unto Moses: For mine own\u00a0purpose\u00a0have I made these things. Here is\u00a0wisdom\u00a0and it remaineth in me.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>\u00a032\u00a0<\/span>And by the\u00a0word\u00a0of my power, have I created them, which is mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of\u00a0grace\u00a0and truth.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>\u00a033\u00a0<\/span>And\u00a0worlds\u00a0without number have I\u00a0created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the\u00a0Son\u00a0I\u00a0created\u00a0them, which is mine\u00a0Only Begotten. \u00a0(Moses 1)<\/span><\/p>\n
