Neil deGrasse Tyson
Rational thoughts never drive people's creativity the way emotions do.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
In this 21st century, bedtime doesn't matter at all. All that matters is what you set for your DVR [Digital Video Recorder].

Neil deGrasse Tyson
Once you've got the makings of a star, gravity draws leftover gas and dust into a giant swirling disk. The dust continues to stick together, clumping into rocky asteroids, which eventually become orbiting rocky planets. And voila: a solar system!
Neil deGrasse Tyson
