These homilies are my gifts to you. Perhaps you might find them helpfulin your ministry or in your own private reflections.
- HD 162826, a star born in the same star cluster as our Sun, is located in the constellation Hercules, about 110 light-years away from Earth. It has a mass about 1.15 times that of the Sun.
- Our Sun is a huge, massive, spherically shaped object, containing about 99.8% of all the matter in our Solar System. (The planet Jupiter contains most of the remaining material.) The sun has a mass of 1.9891x10 30 kg = 4.384x10 30 lb = 2.192x10 27 tons, or a mass 333,000 times that of the Earth.
- Keeping that in mind, we might listen to today’s readings as if hearing the oral tradition, as if we were younger disciples listening to our predecessors. Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time.
- . Based on Second Sun simulation software, historical weather data, existing 1000W light rigs available in the stadium and a target of 12 DLI per day - the actual savings will vary based on geographical location, orientation, height and local weather conditions but 500.000 kWh is a conservative estimation applicable for most stadiums across Europe with existing artificial light rigs.
