Re: WARNING! Falling stars August 11th to 14th!
Do you think that God places more stars in firmament when some of them has fallen off and could it be possible that these new stars are not as bright as the old stars?
I know that this might sound bit far fetched, but let me address both points bit more in detail. Even if there are thousands of stars in the firmament, we have to remember that universe is very very old. So if we assume that stars have been falling down to earth since the creation of universe some 6000 years ago, amount of fallen stars in total is huge. If about 10 stars falls down each year, there would have been 60 000 stars fallen so far. I think that kind of number of stars missing would be visible even in the desert ares in Holy Land. Maybe not all stars are bright for some reason yet, then.
If we look at these pictures of fallen stars we notice one distinct feature, or more specific, lack of feature. They do not shine light. So maybe they are young start that has not lit up yet, or there could be another explanation as well. Maybe starts are not not luminescent at all, but they just reflect light and maybe it takes lot of time before they are shiny enough for it. After all, stars comes out only at nights when we turn our street lights and such on, on earth. Stars could reflect those lights we use down here on earth and amplify the reflections among the other stars. I guess some light from the sun and moon could be reflected back at stars from calm surfaces of lakes and oceans as well.
