Columba Constellation Spirit of Peace

This evening the clouds dissipate and the stars shine brightly. It is a wonderful evening to reflect on the bounty the Lord has blessed us with.
He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them. Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite. Ps.147:4-5.

Columba constellation is located in the southern sky. Its name means “dove” in Latin. Columba’s original name was Columba Noachi, meaning “Noah’s dove,” after the dove that informs Noah that the Biblical Great Flood is receding. The constellation was introduced by the Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius in the late 16th century and it later appears in Johann Bayer’s star atlas Uranometria in 1603. Columba contains the famous runaway star Mu Columbae.

“Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, as the stars forever and ever. Amen. Dan. 12:3.
