Astronomie / Astronomy Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Astronomie / Astronomy:

Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth. Voltaire

But when researchers at Bell Labs discovered that static tends to come from particular places in the sky, the whole field of radio astronomy opened up.

Murray Gell-Mann

Radio Astronomy has added greatly to our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the universe. The cosmic microwave background radiation, considered a relic of the explosion at the beginning of the universe some 18 billion years ago, is one of the most powerful aids in determining these features of the universe.

Robert Woodrow Wilson

So far as hypotheses are concerned, let no one expect anything certain from astronomy, which cannot furnish it, lest he accept as the truth ideas conceived for another purpose, and depart from this study a greater fool than when he entered it.

Nicolaus Copernicus

I went to the University of Washington as a physics and astronomy major. My other interest, of course, was aviation. I always wanted to be a pilot. And if you're going to fly airplanes, the best place to be is the Air Force.

Michael P. Anderson

We are probably nearing the limit of all we can know about astronomy.

Simon Newcomb

People get cranky when you burst their bubble. Over time, advances in astronomy have relentlessly reinforced the utter insignificance of Earth on a celestial scale. Fortunately, political and religious leaders stopped barbecuing astronomers for saying so, turning their spits with human-rights activists instead.

Nathan Myhrvold

Astronomy's much more fun when you're not an astronomer.

Brian May

This sight... is by far the noblest astronomy affords.

Edmond Halley

If I had to go back to school for anything, I'd go for astronomy.

Anderson East

Most people today still believe, perhaps unconsciously, in the heliocentric universe every newspaper in the land has a section on astrology, yet few have anything at all on astronomy.

Hannes Alfven

Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.

Plato

The thing I like about astronomy is being outside at night and seeing the stars in a dark sky. It makes you feel small.

Jimmy Walker

The most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth.

Richard P. Feynman

The history of astronomy is a history of receding horizons.

Edwin Powell Hubble

It's like having astronomy without knowing where the stars are.

E. O. Wilson

In 1959 the University recognized our work by appointing me to a new Chair of Radio Astronomy.

Martin Ryle

Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.

Edsger Dijkstra

This is very similar to astronomy where different magnitudes are assigned to the brightness of an astronomical object, depending on the range of wavelengths being measured.

Charles Francis Richter

Before a war military science seems a real science, like astronomy; but after a war it seems more like astrology.

Rebecca West

So fantasy was fine early on, and when I discovered science fiction, I was very happy with it, because my first interest in science fiction came with an interest in astronomy.

Octavia E. Butler

Similarly, many a young man, hearing for the first time of the refraction of stellar light, has thought that doubt was cast on the whole of astronomy, whereas nothing is required but an easily effected and unimportant correction to put everything right again.

Ernst Mach

I only watch National Geographic Channel, and also I have the app on my phone. I'm into astronomy and love to learn about new facts.

Sonu Nigam

Medicine rests upon four pillars - philosophy, astronomy, alchemy, and ethics.

Paracelsus

I'm not really into sci-fi movies, but I'm into the science of space a lot. I love astronomy and thinking about the nothingness of the everythingness of space.

Milana Vayntrub

Until very recently, the heavenly bodies have been investigated only with reference to their position and their laws of motion, and a quarter of a century ago astronomy was little more than celestial topography.

George Phillips Bond

I turned my attention for a while to gamma ray astronomy and soon began the first in a continous series of experiments at the Savannah River site to study the properties of the neutrino.

Frederick Reines

From the moment of using rocket devices, a great new era will begin in astronomy: the epoch of the more intensive study of the firmament.

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky

It is clear to everyone that astronomy at all events compels the soul to look upwards, and draws it from the things of this world to the other.

Plato

I'm interested in astrology and astronomy.

Emm Gryner

Science Fiction is not just about the future of space ships travelling to other planets, it is fiction based on science and I am using science as my basis for my fiction, but it's the science of prehistory - palaeontology and archaeology - rather than astronomy or physics.

Jean M. Auel

I love biomedical science, I love astronomy, and you can't really do much with those in a fantasy setting.

Elizabeth Moon

Astronomy teaches the correct use of the sun and the planets.

Stephen Leacock

Here I was into astronomy, and here into anthropology, and there I go into geology. It was much more fun to be able to research and write about whatever I wanted to.

Octavia E. Butler

Becoming a scientist is a long journey, and at every step, I found projects that were exciting, motivating me to continue. My path was not straightforward - when I began studying physics in college, I had no idea I would end up studying asteroids; in fact, I never took an astronomy class.

Carrie Nugent

I like the planets because they are real places that you can go to and send machines to. Faraway astronomy - galactic astronomy and extra-galactic astronomy - is really cool stuff, but to me, it's about destinations.

Alan Stern

When Galileo first trained his optic telescope on the heavens and opened up modern optical astronomy, that was the first of the electromagnetic windows out of the universe: light.

Kip Thorne
