Solar Quotes

It's time for the human race to enter the solar system.

Satellites live and breathe in space; they are very vulnerable to solar activity. They affect our banking systems, our TVs and cell phones, all the luxuries of life.

We intend to be much more active in the wind, power, solar energy, biomass and geothermal areas.

Whatever growth there is in solar, it's almost always done at the state level. All of the states that have strong growth in solar, have strong statewide initiatives.

It's those few unusual things that really tell you the story of the solar system.

(However) all plans for exploring the outer solar system, more or less, are in complete ruins at the moment.

And maybe it's the right target to go to first in the outer solar system. But we've tried three times.

Nevada stepped forward with a diversified renewable energy program that addressed solar and renewable power. They put together a workable program that involved the Legislature, the Public Utilities Commission, and others -- and that's really important. You have to have support. You have to have a program that you know will work. That's what we did here. All of those bodies came together and made it happen.

We need to be smarter. We are very ignorant about things that go on in our solar system.

These are different climates and there is more solar radiation in the United States than Germany. You might have an overall climate comparable to Boston, but with less solar radiation. The sun shines less in Hanover.

We have a much better insight into what causes the strongest, most dangerous solar flares, and how to develop forecasts that can predict an 'all clear' for significant space weather, for longer periods.

We're looking at solar panels and maybe a composting toilet.

Mostly, I spend my time being a mother to my two children, working in my organic garden, raising masses of sweet peas, being passionately involved in conservation, recycling and solar energy.

For example, a breakthrough in better batteries could supplant hydrogen. Better solar cells could replace or win out in this race to the fuel of the future. Those, I see, as the three big competitors: hydrogen, solar cells and then better batteries.

The Moon and Mars were the two most likely candidates for life in the solar system; what exists beyond our solar system is mere guesswork.

This comet formed at very edge of the solar system ... out by pluto ... and spent all its lifetime out there until recently it came into the inner part of the solar system, where we could sample it.

We're collecting things that are very ancient and even older than our solar system. We are literally reaching for the stars.

The primary purpose of the Stardust mission was to collect comet dust, the most basic material of the solar system, and bring it back to Earth for study.

Each of the satellites in the solar system are pummeled by interplanetary dust particles, or meteoroids which are marble-sized or millimeter-sized objects, ... When those hit a satellite, or moon, at high speeds, they slam into the surface and blast a crater, and all sorts of particles fly off. That's what is happening at Ganymede, and we think that's what's happening at all the satellites in the solar system.

There aren't models of solar systems or mock rain forests or any other kinds of displays in the classrooms.

There are a lot of people that are surprised that Hubble can even look at planets in our solar system, because they think of Hubble as looking back to the beginning of time or at things billions of times fainter than the eye can see. But indeed, about 15 percent of the time Hubble spends observing our own planets.
