Emily Calandrelli Quotes

I have dedicated my life to answering the great scientific questions of our time and to the incredible adventure of space exploration.

The public has an incredible capacity for appreciating the wonder of our planet, our solar system, our universe.

To help enable the kind of science Hubble is performing makes my life worthwhile.

I think a scientist's job is to explore the Universe, to explore the cosmos around us. People always want to know - why is that useful? Well, on just pure fundamental grounds, on some level it's like art, it's like umm, music, it's aesthetics, it's like philosophy. You want to know where you are in the Universe.

Thinking about the universe has now been handed over to specialists. The rest of us merely read about it.

When we look out into space, we're looking back in time; the light from a galaxy a billion light-years away, for instance, will take a billion years to reach us. It's an amazing thing. The history is there for us to see. It's not mushed up like the geologic record of Earth. You can just see it exactly as it was.

My experience in science has always been that the future always exceeds what we believe is possible. I suspect that we will explore the universe.

No one who has understood even a fraction of what science has told us about the universe can fail to be in awe of both the cosmos and of science.

I am very interested in the Universe - I am specialising in the Universe and all that surrounds it.

Pure science - this vision of the universe as 15 billion light years across - I am bedazzled and awed by it.

It's always a combination of physics and poetry that I find inspiring. It's hard to wrap your head around things like the Hubble scope.

While I'm a big fan of science fiction, especially as rendered in expensive Hollywood blockbusters, it's the real universe that calls to me.

I've seen children's eyes light up when I tell them about black holes and the Big Bang.

The universe is a great mystery.

I think the mystery of what's out there in the universe is just very compelling.

I am an astronomer, and my job is to look to the heavens to better understand the universe and our place in it.

A lot of the cosmologists and astrophysicists clearly had been reading science fiction.

My interest in astronomy grew from the play 'Space' that I did, where I had to learn where my character was from. I had to study the stars and figure where everything was and how I got here and all of those things.

The universe at large is full of questions that we still don't know anything about, and there will be always young people, brilliant, who are going to make new discoveries.

We are not particularly interested in the prestige of space, but in the scientific aspects of it.

I'm a cosmologist. All I do is cosmology.

I'm not really into sci-fi movies, but I'm into the science of space a lot. I love astronomy and thinking about the nothingness of the everythingness of space.

Space is a laboratory, an experiment in all forms of all things, an infinity of possibilities, properties, and places that cry out for investigation and exploration.

I look forward to working with the NASA team to help enable new discoveries in our quest to understand our home planet and unravel the mysteries of the universe.

I believe that the future of humans, and the future of Earth, depends on space exploration. That's not a French problem, or a problem for Alabama: it's a planet-wide problem. International cooperation is crucial.
