b'As Celine peered through the window of her submersible, she could see the\\nedge of Saturn\\u2019s rings looming through the gap in the ice above her. \\u201cI\\u2019m\\napproaching the fissure, Jax,\\u201d she said into her headpiece. \\u201cReady to\\nsurface.\\u201d Jax\\u2019s voice crackled in response. \\u201cI see you, Tiger Three. Come\\non up, Celine.\\u201d As the submersible emerged through the fissure in the ice,\\nCeline had to shut her eyes tight against the glare. Even though Enceladus\\nwas much farther from the sun than Earth, the thick layer of ice that\\ncovered this moon\\u2019s surface made it the most reflective object in the solar\\nsystem. After spending several hours in the dark ocean beneath the ice, the\\ndaytime brilliance felt like knives slicing through her vision. Once her\\neyes had adjusted, she steered over to where Jax was waiting at the edge of\\nthe ice. When she was within reach, he grabbed the handle on the front of\\nthe submersible and hoisted her out of the water. The moon\\u2019s gravity was so\\nsmall that he barely had to use one hand. Once she was grounded, Celine\\nopened the hatch. Despite her heated space suit, she could feel the icy\\nblast of the moon\\u2019s air\\u2014if you could even call it air\\u2014and she quickly\\nfollowed Jax into the warmth of the station. \\u201cFind anything interesting\\ntoday?\\u201d Jax asked as he pulled off his helmet. \\u201cI took some samples near\\none of the ocean vents,\\u201d Celine said as they walked through the station\\nhub. Voices crackled through the air as other search teams radioed back and\\nforth. \\u201cWe\\u2019ve sampled there before though, so I doubt we\\u2019ll find anything.\\u201d\\n\\u201cYou never know,\\u201d said Jax. \\u201cAll we need is one little microorganism\\u2014one\\ntiny proof of life from somewhere other than Earth.\\u201d \\u201cYou think we\\u2019ll ever\\nfind it?\\u201d asked Celine. Jax shrugged. \\u201cI don\\u2019t know. Maybe not. But I like\\nto think that God created life somewhere in our solar system other than\\nEarth because He knew how excited we\\u2019d be to find it one day.\\u201d Celine\\nsmiled. \\u201cI like to think that too.\\u201d \\u201cWell, that\\u2019s why we\\u2019re here\\u2014no better\\nplace to start looking than Enceladus.\\u201d Jax pointed to the sample box\\nCeline had brought from the submersible. \\u201cLet\\u2019s go fire up the microscope\\nand see what we\\u2019ve got.\\u201d \\u2022 Courtney Lasater \\u2022 Do you ever wonder if there\\u2019s\\nlife elsewhere in the universe? Does thinking about this excite you? Scare\\nyou? Why? \\u2022 Read John 1:1-3. Who are these verses talking about? (See John\\n1:14-18 and Colossians 1:15-22 for the answer.) \\u2022 We don\\u2019t know if there\\u2019s\\nlife out in the universe somewhere, but if there is, God created it, just\\nlike He created life on Earth. He is Creator and Lord of the whole\\nuniverse. And God reveals Himself to us in Jesus. Jesus is the Word who\\ncreated all things at the beginning, and because He came to live among us,\\ndie on the cross, and rise from the dead, we can have a relationship with\\nour Creator through putting our trust in Jesus. How can knowing Him help\\nyou when you\\u2019re faced with the unknowable? The LORD merely spoke, and the\\nheavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born.\\nPsalm 33:6 (NLT)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nNeh.9.6|Ps.33.6|Ps.89.11|John.1.1-John.1.3'
