We all come from our own little planets. That's why we're all different. That's what makes life interesting.
- Robert E. Sherwood
#Planets
Diminutive worlds are more likely to be rocky, and lapped by oceans and atmospheres. In the vernacular of 'Star Trek,' these would be M-class planets: life-friendly oases where biology could begin and bumpy-faced Klingons might exist.
- Seth Shostak
#Planets
When you're up against an electric band like that, it's like you're on two separate planets.
- Keith Jarrett
#Planets
Super-Earths are how we call a family of planets... up to two times larger and about ten times more massive than the Earth.
- Dimitar Sasselov
#Planets
Every type of ring behavior we have seen around Jupiter, Uranus, or Neptune can be found in orbit around Saturn. And Saturn's ring system offers the greatest promise of understanding processes in operation within all disk systems, not just those found around planets.
- Carolyn Porco
#Planets
So I saw many planets, and they looked just a little bit brighter than they do from Earth.
- Sally Ride
#Planets
When I was a little kid, we only knew about our nine planets. Since then, we've downgraded Pluto but have discovered that other solar systems and stars are common. So life is probably quite prevalent.
- Buzz Aldrin
#Planets
Prebiotic chemistry on other worlds is going to be common. Plenty of small rocky planets will have similar chemistry. It's almost a given.
- Debra Fischer

In 1999, my team discovered that the star Upsilon Andromedae was circled by three gas-giant planets - the first distant multiplanet system ever found. That same year, other researchers observed the first 'transit' of an exoplanet - a planet blocking out a small fraction of the starlight as it passes in front of the star.
- Debra Fischer

The gas-giant planets in our solar system all have large moons.
- Debra Fischer
#Planets
The universe has told us the most common types of planets are small planets, and our study shows these are exactly the ones that are most likely to be orbiting Alpha Centauri A and B.
- Debra Fischer
#Planets
Because Alpha Centauri is so close, it is our first stop outside our solar system. There's almost certain to be small, rocky planets around Alpha Centauri A and B.
- Debra Fischer
#Planets
Before 1995, the only planets we knew about were the planets in our solar system.
- Debra Fischer
#Planets
To get - or not to get - bangs is a question that women struggle with all their life. I consider this question to be amongst those like, 'What happens when we die? or 'Is there life on other planets?'
- Emily Hampshire
#Planets
You teach your daughters the diameters of the planets and wonder when you are done that they do not delight in your company.
- Samuel Johnson
#Planets
I can remember at the age of about six being fascinated by the planets and learning all about Mars and Venus and things.
- Richard Dawkins
#Planets
It is not known precisely where angels dwell whether in the air, the void, or the planets. It has not been God's pleasure that we should be informed of their abode.
- Voltaire
#Planets
Just as the system of the sun, planets and comets is put in motion by the forces of gravity, and its parts persist in their motions, so the smaller systems of bodies also seem to be set in motion by other forces and their particles to be variously moved in relation to each other and, especially, by the electric force.
- Isaac Newton
#Planets
The smaller the planets are, they are, other things being equal, of so much the greater density; for so the powers of gravity on their several surfaces come nearer to equality. They are likewise, other things being equal, of the greater density, as they are nearer to the sun.
- Isaac Newton
#Planets
I watched the moon landing as a boy, and I thought that was the most exciting thing ever, going into space, orbiting Earth and exploring other planets. That looked fantastic.
- David Mackay
#Planets
Earlier generations of stars in the galaxy could well have had planets. But really, there was only hydrogen and helium to work with, so they'd all be gas giants and not small, rocky planets.
- Jill Tarter
#Planets
Am I willing to go to Mars? Yes, but I'm not willing to spend nine months getting there, then wait 18 more months until the planets align to come home.
- Gene Cernan
#Planets
Planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus.
- Johannes Kepler
#Planets
The question we ask is - if there is life on other planets, should we expect it to be based on the same molecules, i.e. be universal - or should we expect it to depend on the local conditions, i.e. on the planet's geochemistry. So to find out, we try experiments on biomolecules, starting with such geochemistry conditions.
- Dimitar Sasselov
#Planets
When I investigate and when I discover that the forces of the heavens and the planets are within ourselves, then truly I seem to be living among the gods.
- Leon Battista Alberti
#Planets
Perhaps when distant people on other planets pick up some wavelength of ours all they hear is a continuous scream.
- Iris Murdoch
#Planets
The planets are never the same twice, they're always different, so they could compare the markings I had drawn with their current photographs and they knew that I was drawing what I was really seeing and it wasn't copied from somewhere.
- Clyde Tombaugh
#Planets
Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars and planets of the whole firmament, from the earth and the elements; and so he is their quintessence.
- Paracelsus
#Planets
Good men are the stars, the planets of the ages wherein they live, and illustrate the times.
- Ben Jonson
#Planets
Astronomy teaches the correct use of the sun and the planets.
- Stephen Leacock
#Planets
Accordingly, since nothing prevents the earth from moving, I suggest that we should now consider also whether several motions suit it, so that it can be regarded as one of the planets. For, it is not the center of all the revolutions.
- Nicolaus Copernicus
#Planets
In so many and such important ways, then, do the planets bear witness to the earth's mobility.
- Nicolaus Copernicus
#Planets
If the rate of expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, it would have recollapsed before it reached its present size. On the other hand, if it had been greater by a part in a million, the universe would have expanded too rapidly for stars and planets to form.
- Stephen Hawking
#Planets
The motions of the comets are exceedingly regular, and they observe the same laws as the motions of the planets, but they differ from the motions of vortices in every particular and are often contrary to them.
- Isaac Newton
#Planets
The motions which the planets now have could not spring from any natural cause alone, but were impressed by an intelligent Agent.
- Isaac Newton
#Planets
Nature hasn't gone anywhere. It is all around us, all the planets, galaxies and so on. We are nothing in comparison.
- Bjork
#Planets
We are using resources as if we had two planets, not one. There can be no 'plan B' because there is no 'planet B.'
- Ban Ki-moon
