Stephen Hawking Quotes

You are that vast thing that you see far, far off with great telescopes.

It bears mentioning that the Milky Way is only one of 150 billion galaxies visible to our telescopes - and each of these will have its own complement of planets.

The Hubble Space Telescope is more than remarkable. It has answered just so many of those fundamental questions that people have been asking about the cosmos since people were able to ask questions.

The stars are so far, far away!

The telescope... is a conduit to the cosmos.

I want Carl Sagan to explain the sky to me.

We're just one rock surrounded by this immense universe.

The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest.

The pinpoints of starlight we see with the naked eye are photons that have been streaming toward us for a few years or a few thousand.

Who among us has never looked up into the heavens on a starlit night, lost in wonder at the vastness of space and the beauty of the stars?

Do not look at stars as bright spots only. Try to take in the vastness of the universe.

You cannot look up at the night sky on the Planet Earth and not wonder what it's like to be up there amongst the stars. And I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos.

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

I'm interested in the cosmos. I want to know what's out there and how connected we are.

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.

I've always been consumed by things that are out of this world, like space and moons.

NASA is my favorite website. The universe with its abstract nature attracts me. The abstract element in my poetry comes from there.

Every field of astrophysics - whether it's our local neighborhood of planets, nearby stars and their attendant planets, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, out to the edge of the universe - every field has questions that are awaiting the power of Hubble.

I don't know why. I'm fascinated with stars and space. I just love them.

We are discovering what the universe is really like, and it is totally magnificent, and one can only be inspired and awestruck by what we find.

There is no stronger case for the motivational power of real science than the discoveries that come from the Hubble Space Telescope as it unravels the mysteries of the universe.

The universe is a big place. If I was lost up there, how would you ever find me

The first inspiration I ever had was the cosmos, the planetary system.

Billions and billions.

We live on a hunk of rock and metal that circles a humdrum star that is one of 400 billion other stars that make up the Milky Way Galaxy which is one of billions of other galaxies which make up a universe which may be one of a very large number, perhaps an infinite number, of other universes. That is a perspective on human life and our culture that is well worth pondering.
