Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is one of 50 or 100 billion other galaxies in the universe. And with every step, every window that modern astrophysics has opened to our mind, the person who wants to feel like they’re the center of everything ends up shrinking. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
Asteroids have us in our sight. The dinosaurs didn’t have a space program, so they’re not here to talk about this problem. We are, and we have the power to do something about it. 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. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
If you only think of me during Black History Month, I must be failing as an educator and as an astrophysicist. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
There is no science in this world like physics. Nothing comes close to the precision with which physics enables you to understand the world around you. It’s the laws of physics that allow us to say exactly what time the sun is going to rise. What time the eclipse is going to begin. What time the eclipse is going to end. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
Those who see the cosmic perspective as a depressing outlook, they really need to reassess how they think about the world. Because when I look up in the universe, I know I’m small but I’m also big. I’m big because I’m connected to the universe, and the universe is connected to me. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
Perhaps we’ve never been visited by aliens because they have looked upon Earth and decided there’s no sign of intelligent life. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
The most creative people are motivated by the grandest of problems that are presented before them. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
The theory of evolution, like the theory of gravity, is a scientific fact. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
