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

Scarce any problem will appear more hard and difficult, than that of determining the distance of the Sun from the Earth very near the truth: but even this... will without much labour be effected.

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

In the year 1456... a Comet was seen passing Retrograde between the Earth and the sun... Hence I dare venture to foretell that it will return again in the year 1758.

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

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

But my most favourite pursuit, after my daily exertions at the Foundry, was Astronomy. There were frequently clear nights when the glorious objects in the Heavens were seen in most attractive beauty and brilliancy.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

The history of astronomy is a history of receding horizons.

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

I liked math - that was my favorite subject - and I was very interested in astronomy and in physical science.

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

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

I'm interested in astrology and astronomy.

My amateur interest in astronomy brought out the term 'magnitude,' which is used for the brightness of a star.

You will certainly not doubt the necessity of studying astronomy and physics, if you are desirous of comprehending the relation between the world and Providence as it is in reality, and not according to imagination.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Astrology is an aesthetic affront. It cheapens astronomy, like using Beethoven for commercial jingles.

I got into science fiction by being interested in astronomy first.

I had studied at Harvard and MIT astronomy and a lot about the heavens and the star system and so forth.

My amateur interest in astronomy brought out the term 'magnitude', which is used for the brightness of a star.

When we meet people who are astronauts or deal in astronomy, it's always really fascinating.

Don't let ambition get so far ahead that it loses sight of the job at hand.

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.

Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same.

There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.

Since love first made the breast an instrument Of fierce lamenting, by its flame my heart Was molten to a mirror, like a rose I pluck my breast apart, that I may hang This mirror in your sight.

A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.

While advances in scientific research have led to some new and exciting treatments that have enlarged and enhanced the quality and length of human life, we must not lose sight as to what we are trying to accomplish.

In all our associations; in all our agreements let us never lose sight of this fundamental maxim - that all power was originally lodged in, and consequently is derived from, the people.

When you're special to a cat, you're special indeed, she brings to you the gift of her preference of you, the sight of you, the sound of your voice, the touch of your hand.

The few wonders of the world only exist while there are those with the sight to see them.
