This picture was taken for the first time in 2000 by NASA. The picture demonstrates a star during the closing stages of its life. The scientists say “the death of this star is illustrating for us what will occur to the sun when it approaches the end of its life; light intensity of the sun will be reduced” The dim star shown in the picture is called “The Cat’s Eye Nebula”. The blue circle shows the hot gas the star emits while bursting. The gas’ speed while traveling is 4 miles per hour, reducing the intensity of the star’s   brightness even more.

Allah (SWT) says: “When the sun is wound round and its light is lost (and is overthrown)” [At-Takwir:1].

Examine with me the accuracy of this verse; the star will be overthrown, meaning it will become dim. This is what the picture is demonstrating. It is an adequate miracle to be thinking about!
