Quotes about star
stars war real
I never got into 'Star Wars.' Maybe because they made no attempt to portray real physics. At all. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars home science
To achieve this density of a neutron star at home, just cram a herd of 50 million elephants into the volume of a thimble. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars science iron
The iron from that meteorite and the iron from your blood have common origin in the core of a star. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars science clouds
We can trace the elements. They were forged in the centers of high-mass stars that went unstable at the ends of their lives, they exploded, scattered their enriched contents across the galaxy, sprinkled into gas clouds that then collapsed and formed stars and planets and life. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars moving moon
Perhaps these ancient observatories like Stonehenge perennially impress modern people because modern people have no idea how the Sun, Moon, or stars move. We are too busy watching evening television to care what's going on in the sky. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars space clouds
As the plow pushes through a parking lot of light fluffy snow, the snow clumps together in bigger and bigger chunks. Out in space, pressure hitting a gas cloud has a similar effect, except, instead of snowballs, you get stars! Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars environment havoc
I'm fascinated by the deaths of stars and the havoc they wreak on their environments. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars dust together
Once you've got the makings of a star, gravity draws leftover gas and dust into a giant swirling disk. The dust continues to stick together, clumping into rocky asteroids, which eventually become orbiting rocky planets. And voila: a solar system! Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars rocks use
If there's some kind of rock star status, would I be irresponsible if I didn't somehow use it for a continued greater good? I'm always involved in some way with reaching the public. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars fall mean
The most accessible field in science, from the point of view of language, is astrophysics. What do you call spots on the sun? Sunspots. Regions of space you fall into and you don’t come out of? Black holes. Big red stars? Red giants. So I take my fellow scientists to task. He’ll use his word, and if I understand it, I’ll say, “Oh, does that mean da-da-da-de-da? Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars
Not only do we live among the stars, the stars live within us. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars night thinking
That the north star is the brightest in the night sky. I'd guess about 9 out of 10 people think this. But it does not require a grant from the National Science Foundation to learn the answer. The North Star is not even in the top 40 in the night sky. It's the 49th brightest star. Rather dull and boring by most measures. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars dust way
We are star dust in the highest exalted way, called by the universe, reaching out to the universe Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars night sky
I look up at the night sky, and I know that, yes, we are part of this Universe, we are in this Universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up—many people feel small, because they’re small and the Universe is big, but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars children sun
It makes good sense to revere the sun and the stars ... because we are their children Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars years atoms
The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars war waste
I'm not criticizing the science in Star Wars. That's a waste of everybody's time. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars clouds crucible
Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body...are traceable to the crucibles that were once the centers of high mass stars that exploded their chemically rich guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life. So that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars crucible atoms
The molecules that comprise our body are traceable to the crucibles of the centers of stars.These atoms and molecules are in us because, in fact, the universe is in us. And, we are not only figuratively, but literally, stardust. Neil deGrasse Tyson
stars wall light
He was walking into Faerie, in search of a fallen star, with no idea how he would find the star, nor how to keep himself safe and whole as he tried. He looked back and fancied that he could see the lights of Wall behind him, wavering and glimmering as if in a heat-haze, but still inviting. Neil Gaiman
stars lying believe
I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars... Neil Gaiman
stars fall firsts
That doesn't happen," she explained. "Stars fall. They don't go back up again." "You could be the first," he told her. Neil Gaiman
stars mean thinking
I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend...I can pretend that things last. Neil Gaiman
stars fall hero
Soon,” said the crackling voice of the flame, coming from behind him, “they will fall. Soon they will fall and the star people will meet the earth people. There will be heroes among them, and men who will slay monsters and bring knowledge, but none of them will be gods. This is a poor place for gods. Neil Gaiman
stars autumn moon
There was no moon but the night sky was a riot of crisp and glittering autumn stars. There were streetlights too and lights on buildings and on bridges which looked like earthbound stars and they glimmered repeated as they were reflected with the city in the night water of the Thames. It’s fairyland thought Richard. Neil Gaiman
stars finest wisest
You shone like a star. The funniest, wisest writer & the finest friend Neil Gaiman
stars shining
What do stars do? They shine. Neil Gaiman
stars moon sky
So you used to know everything?" She wrinkled her nose. "Everybody did. I told you. It's nothing special, knowing how things work. And you really do have to give it all up if you want to play." "To play what?" "This," she said. She waved at the house and the sky and the impossible full moon and the skeins and the shawls and clusters of bright stars. Neil Gaiman
stars dancer infinite
He stared up at the stars: and it seemed to him then that they were dancers, stately and graceful, performing a dance almost infinite in its complexity. Neil Gaiman
stars spring rain
They kissed for the first time then in the cold spring rain, though neither one of them now knew that it was raining. Tristran's heart pounded in his chest as if it was not big enough to contain all the joy that it held. He opened his eyes as he kissed the star. Her sky-blue eyes stared back into his, and in her eyes he could see no parting from her. Neil Gaiman
stars journey rocks
Rock and roll stars have it much better than writers when they're on a tour. Neil Gaiman
stars stardust star-gazing
Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at the stars because we are human. Neil Gaiman
stars animal wind
Wilderness is not only a haven for native plants and animals but it is also a refuge from society. Its a place to go to hear the wind and little else, see the stars and the galaxies, smell the pine trees, feel the cold water, touch the sky and the ground at the same time, listen to coyotes, eat the fresh snow, walk across the desert sands, and realize why its good to go outside of the city and the suburbs. Fortunately, there is wilderness just outside the limits of the cities and the suburbs in most of the United States, especially in the West. John Muir
