I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor) My envisagement of an eclectic collection and showcase of manmade lighting in contrast to our Sun, a nearby star. All energy is derived from our star companion nearly 94 million miles distant to planet Earth. Heliograph Spectrometers measure its broadband wavelength of "Fraunhofer Lines" which are solar fingerprints of the chemical signature, structure and composition of the electromagnetic spectrum (emanating from our Sun). By the way: as magnetic ballasts regulate light outputs at 60 hertz of alternating current-120x on/off flicker- per second, the Sun oscillates in a "resilient resonance" of 300 quadrillion times each second... Every square centimeter upon the Sun's surface is about 300,000 candlepower of luminous flux (lumens) concentrated in any thimbleful... If we were to extract a mere pinhead of the Sun's interior [fusion reactor], the very pinpoint-presence thereof would melt man's surrounding interstate territory like a hydrogen heat flash of a 1000 megaton nuclear warhead! Yes, our Sun has such unimaginable energy the which one split second of its "circumstellar" output- if it were harnessed- should provide 100,000 years of nonstop energy, unfailingly, for all the cities of the world operating at full power! Also, the Sun is so big that about roughly 300, 000, 000 of our Earths can easily fit on the inside of it when fully packed! But contrary to what many scientists calculate using theoretical physics, our Sun shall NEVER burn out and will continue to be self-supported for eternity according to God's Word! Only compared to the future Paradise lighted by the Divine Embrace, can our Sun (although still preserved as God's larger Lamp) become obsolete... With this capstone documentary of my lighting hobby, I intend to leave an open forum of discussion about this topic (comments are welcome). Since I myself cannot even fathom the gargantuan creation of Heaven herself, the aforesaid conclusion is an understatement! The Sun as an authentic superpower has a whole lot more in store than what we can barely begin to comprehend, I declare, let alone its sustained thermonuclear "Reverberatory Furnace" wrought radiantly! Herein, of course, I offer appreciation and tribute to God's creation...
