The numbers associated with the giant red star Mira and its tail are simply beyond imagination. From the Toronto Star:

This tail, spanning a stunning distance of 13 light-years, was detected behind the star Mira, located 350 light-years from Earth in the "whale" constellation Cetus.

Here's a NASA graphic that puts the length and age of Mira's tail into a human evolutionary context.

According to The Star article, the debris tail from Mira's deterioration contains oxygen, carbon and nitrogen. NASA scientists suggest that this debris may provide the seed for the creation of new planets:

Like other red giants, Mira will lose a large fraction of its mass in the form of gas and dust. In fact, Mira ejects the equivalent of the Earth's mass every 10 years. It has released enough material over the past 30,000 years to seed at least 3,000 Earth-sized planets or 9 Jupiter-sized ones.

So, I wonder, what's God got to do with it? I'd be interested to hear how Young Earth creationists come up with a biblical explanation for this bit of science.
