“We've never seen anything like this. This unusual galaxy has ejected an enormous amount of dust to cover itself with a cloud brighter than any we've seen around other galaxies.”
Charles Engelbracht
“Our sun is one of 100 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies populating the universe. It would be the height of presumption to think that we are the only living things in that enormous immensity.”
Werner von Braun
“Can you...picture existing in twisting galaxies, where our fantasies define our realities.... Remember this, that's it not hard to enter in, the very universe your thoughts find their center in ..."As a man thinketh, so is he"”
Dedrick D. L. Pitter
“They're typically seen in starburst galaxies, where there's a lot of star formation and large stars don't last very long. They typically explode soon after they're made — where 'soon' is a million years.”
Frank Marshall
“We find active Super Massive Black Holes at the centers of massive galaxies. Our Galaxy also has its own black hole at its center measuring 2.6 million solar masses. Our black hole is not active today, but we presume it was active in the past.”
Dr. Niel Brandt
“Some of the stars in this Milky Way companion have been seen with telescopes for centuries. But because the galaxy is so close, its stars are spread over a huge swath of the sky, and they always used to be lost in the sea of more numerous Milky Way stars. This galaxy is so big, we couldn't see it before.”
Mario Juric
“We know less about the structure of our own galaxy than we do about many nearby galaxies like Andromeda. We literally can't see the forest for the trees because we are embedded inside our own galaxy, and interstellar dust blocks our view.”
Mark Reid
