More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
That is a big question we all have: are we alone in the universe? And exoplanets confirm the suspicion that planets are not rare.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
85 percent of the gravity of the universe has a point of origin about which we know nothing.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
For your own safety, do not ever tell an astrophysicist, I hope all your stars are twinkling.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Dark matter and dark energy are two things we measure in the universe that are making things happen, and we have no idea what the cause is.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
People are really excited about robotic exploration. I understand the feeling there because, in fact, robots can do things humans can't. They can survive harsh conditions, they can explore places we would never go, plus you never actually have to bring them back.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Space only becomes ordinary when the frontier is no longer being breached.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Access to science is greater than ever before. There are more vehicles out there that grant the public access to science. Not to mention the Internet.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Why can't Pluto be a planet? Some people like Pluto. And if it doesn't exist then they don't have a favorite planet. Right? Please write back but not in cursive because I can't read cursive.

Some morning while your eating breakfast and you need something new to think about, though, you might want to ponder the fact that you see your kids across the table not as they are but as they once were, about three nanoseconds ago.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If all that you see, do, measure and discover is the will of a deity, then ideas can never be proven wrong, you have no predictive power, and you are at a loss to understand the principles behind most of the fundamental interconnections of nature.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Science, and its impact on a person's livelihood is the common denominator.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Research in education has shown that we remember field trips long into adulthood. I remember visiting the post office in second grade and looking at the sorting machine. I have vivid memories of that, when I don't even remember the name of the teacher who took me.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I recognize that there's an appetite that I'm now serving, and I'm happy to do so. I think it means quite a bit that science has achieved this level of public interest and access. And so I'm simultaneously astonished every day upon recognizing this, and I think it's a good sign for the country and possibly for the world.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
He invited people to sign a petition that demanded either strict control of, or a total ban on, dihydrogen monoxide.... Yes, 86 percent of the passersby voted to ban water (H2O) from the environment. Maybe that's what really happened to all the water on Mars.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Science is a cooperative enterprise spanning the generations. It's the passing of a torch from teacher to student to teacher. A community of minds, reaching back to antiquity and forward to the stars.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I remain fearless of airplanes after 9/11. But during a trip to Los Angeles on a Boeing 767, I couldn't keep my mind from drifting: What's the largest piece of this airplane that could crash into the World Trade Center, explode out the other side, and survive intact? The landing gear? My computer battery? My belt buckle? My wedding ring?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I am not the most annoying person to bring to a movie 'cause I basically hold it in and write about it later or tweet about it. The most annoying people to bring to movies, I think we all agree, are those who read the book first.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I'm not writing for myself. I'm writing as an educator, I'm writing to stimulate others.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I want and need the artist to take me to new places, and the new place that Van Gogh took me not the sky as it is but the sky as he felt it. And the more of us that feel the universe, the better off we will be in this world.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Whether or not you can never become great at something, you can always become better at it. Don't ever forget that! And don’t say “I’ll never be good”. You can become better! and one day you’ll wake up and you’ll find out how good you actually became.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
