Ancient's imagery of the heavens frequently referred to the physical sky with words that portrayed something stretched out and flattened, like hammered metal or a curtain. This acknowledged the immense power or energy required to create and sustain space.
The night sky "star walks" I have conducted over the years allowed me to share my awe of God's creation. The planet Jupiter, and her moons, seen through even a small 4" scope give some perspective to God's power.
I have found people respond to God's night sky all around the world. This allows us to open the door to talking about Jesus.
Isaiah 40:22 - "It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in."
NIV
