“Hoyle's enduring insights into stars, nucleosynthesis, and the large-scale universe rank among the greatest achievements of 20th-century astrophysics. Moreover, his theories were unfailingly stimulating, even when they proved transient.” UniverseStarsCenturyTheoryAchievementEndureInsightScales20th CenturyTransientLarge ScaleAstrophysicsGreatest Achievement Author:Fred Hoyle
“We in astrophysics we think of the universe all the time. So to us, Earth is just another planet. From a distance, it's a speck. And I'm convinced that if everyone had a cosmic perspective you wouldn't have legions of armies waging war on other people because someone would say, "Stop, look at the universe."” PeopleIfsThinkingLooksWarEarthUniversePlanetsPerspectiveArmyDistanceConvincedCosmicLegionSpecksAstrophysicsWaging War Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
“In astrophysics, we care about how matter, motion and energy manifest in objects and phenomenon in the universe. Stars are born. They live out their lives. They die. Some of the ones that die explode. Our sun will not be one of those, but it will die. And it'll take Earth with us. So we make sure we have other destinations in mind when that happens. And I've got it on my calendar.” MindMatterHappensCareEarthDiesUniverseEnergyStarsBornSunObjectsDestinationPhenomenonManifestCalendarsAstrophysics Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
