More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
I want people to see that the cosmic perspective is simultaneously honest about the universe we live in and uplifting, when we realize how far we have come and how wonderful is this world of ours.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I bought it, I read it, and I heeded its advice. I remain unabducted.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Deep in the world of atomic nuclei, life is not always tranquil.
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
What scientists want next is a thorough comparison of what we and exosolar planets and vagabonds look like. Only in this way will we know whether our home life is normal or whether we live in a dysfunctional solar family.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Scientific inquiry shouldn't stop just because a reasonable explanation has apparently been found.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The value of the space program is beyond science, it's beyond military it's a cultural shift in how we think of our place in the universe.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Science is a way of equipping yourself with the tools to interpret what happens in front of you.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The history of science shows that great mysteries get solved. It may be that there's an answer that humans are too stupid to understand. I'm intrigued by that possibility.

All of the full moons for the entire year are special in that they have particular names.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
As a scientist, I want to go to Mars and back to asteroids and the Moon because I'm a scientist. But I can tell you, I'm not so naive a scientist to think that the nation might not have geopolitical reasons for going into space.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If something comes up that is completely freaky, it's spiritual-looking to the scientist, the first explanation is not going to be that it's God, because the history of that has failed. It would have to be, like, the hundredth explanation.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
That the north star is the brightest in the night sky. I'd guess about 9 out of 10 people think this. But it does not require a grant from the National Science Foundation to learn the answer. The North Star is not even in the top 40 in the night sky. It's the 49th brightest star. Rather dull and boring by most measures.

The supermoon is a 16-inch pizza compared with a 15-inch pizza. It's a slightly bigger moon I ain't using the adjective 'supermoon.'
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Wow, monitor lizards are pretty gnarly creatures. I want to go with the monitor lizard. That's just weird enough to be true. No?
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.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The more I learn about the universe, the less convinced I am that there's any sort of benevolent force that has anything to do with it, at all.
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
To learn more about science, turn off your electronic device and go outside and look around a bit. Nature is calling you. Go on. The internet will still be here.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
What are you doing? Why are you concerning yourself with the meaning of meaning?
