Cosmos’ is an occasion to bring everything that I have, all of my capacity to communicate. We may go to the edge of the universe, but we’re going to land right on you: in your heart, in your soul, in your mind. My goal is to have people know that they are participants in this great unfolding cosmic story. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote

If Mars formed life, then life on Earth could have been seeded by life on Mars, making every life form on Earth descended from Martians. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
We live on this speck called Earth – think about what you might do, today or tomorrow – and make the most of it. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
I don’t want to be the embarrassment of the galaxy to have had the power to deflect an asteroid, and then not and end up going extinct. We’d be the laughingstock of the aliens of the cosmos if that were the case. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
In any city with lots of skyscrapers, lots of skyline, the moon seems bigger than it is. It’s called the moon illusion. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
