Thomas, M.S. * Mainstream cosmology holds that the orderliness
found throughout the universe came from chaotic beginnings. In
this scenario, matter and energy were flung outward and then
gradually coalesced into structured celestial and terrestrial
systems. But observations through telescopes tell just the
opposite story—stars and planets are falling apart and losing
steam from what could only have been highly ordered beginnings.
For example, on November 17, NASA released new images of the
"Crystal Ball" nebula, described as having been formed from
glowing gases that result when "dying stars toss off their outer
layers of material." NASA's WISE all-sky survey, which uses a
satellite telescope, collected infrared images of the nebula's
symmetrical rings. The rings are hidden from visible-light
images, making them a unique stellar object described by
principal investigator Edward Wright as resembling "beautiful
things floating in water."1 These rings, ho
