I'm tired of ignorance held up as inspiration, where vicious anti-intellectualism is considered a positive trait, and where uninformed opinion is displayed as fact.

Just like people, stars can be important without being terribly bright.

Our solar system is fantastically bizarre. There are worlds with features we never imagined. Storms larger than planets, moons with under-surface oceans, lakes of methane, worldlets that swap places...and that's just at Saturn.

Some people try to tell me that science will never answer the big questions we have in life. To them I say: baloney! The real problem is your questions aren't big enough.

Humanity and life are reflected in the stars, and the Universe itself is poetry.

However, science isn't just about showing when you're right; it's also about showing when you're wrong.

Welcome to science. You’re gonna like it here.
