Carl Sagan Quotes

Our sun is one of a 100 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies populating the universe. It would be the height of presumption to think that we are the only living thing in that enormous immensity.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

I can't say I've ever had a dream about space or that I ponder it all the time.

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.

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

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.

Billions and billions.

That is a big question we all have: are we alone in the universe? And exoplanets confirm the suspicion that planets are not rare.

Of course there are worlds. Millions of them! Every star you see has worlds, and most of those you don't see.

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.

Space is almost infinite. As a matter of fact, we think it is infinite.

When I was a little kid, we only knew about our nine planets. Since then, we've downgraded Pluto but have discovered that other solar systems and stars are common. So life is probably quite prevalent.

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

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?

I study the universe. It's the second oldest profession. People have been looking up for a long time.

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