- Galaxy Quotes -

There should have been a period when most of the atoms in the universe were neutral. This would have continued until stars and galaxies began forming.
~ George Becker

We must see that consciousness is neither an isolated soul nor the mere function of a single nervous system, but of that totality of interrelated stars and galaxies which makes a nervous system possible.
~ Alan Watts

This galaxy appears to have 'bulked up' amazingly quickly, within a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. It made about eight times more mass in terms of stars than are found in our own Milky Way today, and then, just as suddenly, it stopped forming new stars. It appears to have grown old prematurely.
~ Bahram Mobasher

Our sun is one of 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 things in that enormous immensity.
~ Werner von Braun

We've never seen anything like this. This unusual galaxy has ejected an enormous amount of dust to cover itself with a cloud brighter than any we've seen around other galaxies.
~ Charles Engelbracht

Don't you see what's at stake here? The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet.
~ Walter Reisch

I have to believe there's some other life force out there. I don't know in what form. But we can't have all these galaxies and universes without something going on.
~ John Travolta

Probably most galaxies are truncated-the density of stars in the disk drops off sharply. But NGC 300 just seems to go on forever. The density of stars in the disk falls off very smoothly and gradually
~ Ken Freeman

It seems to me, thinking of it, that there must be some universal plan which set in motion the orbiting of the electrons about the nucleus and the slower, more majestic orbit of the galaxies about one another to the very edge of space.
~ Clifford D. Simak

We went through hundreds of thousands of galaxies to find a 1-in-1,000 phenomenon.
~ Adam Bolton

The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet.
~ Walter Reisch

Massive dark matter halos are clearly detected in disk galaxies, so where did they disappear to during the mergers?
~ Avishai Dekel

Financially, we were on different galaxies. But it didn't matter to him.
~ Peter Wagner

They've discovered that, where all the other galaxies are moving in one direction, ours is going in another. Now, the Big Bang theory says that we're all moving outward.
~ Dwight Schultz

Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.
~ Carl Sagan

The stars twinkle in the Milky Way and the wind sighs for songs across the empty fields of a planet a Galaxy away.
~ L. Ron Hubbard

A galaxy is composed of gas and dust and stars - -billions upon billions of stars.
~ Carl Sagan

If we see a star at a large distance from the center of the galaxy, that star is going to be mostly moving either away from the center or back toward the center. Almost certainly, most of its motion is perpendicular to our line of sight.
~ Avishai Dekel

We removed everything we knew--all the stars and galaxies both near and far.
~ John Mather

It still amazes me how many millions goes to discovering another star in the galaxies when, for all we know, we are still sitting on top of another undiscovered world beneath out feet.
~ Martin Dansky

I am a being of Heaven and Earth, of thunder and lightning, of rain and wind, of the galaxies.
~ Eden Ahbez

It may very well be that solar systems like our own are probably not rare in the galaxy. They may actually be a very common case.
~ Alan Boss

I am undecided whether or not the Milky Way is but one of countless others all of which form an entire system. Perhaps the light from these infinitely distant galaxies is so faint that we cannot see them.
~ Johann Heinrich Lambert
