Top 72 Quotes & Sayings by Heidi Hammel - Page 2

Hubble orbits high, outside Earth's atmosphere so it can see a wide spectrum of light our atmosphere blocks.

The whole Hubble program has just been a fabulous testament to the NASA science community and the NASA astronaut community.

We've explored every type of environment in the solar system at least once.

Webb will return extremely interesting measurements of chemistry in the Martian atmosphere. And most importantly, these Mars data will be immediately available to the planetary community to enable them to plan even more detailed Mars observations with Webb in future cycles.

The Hubble program has been so fantastically successful. It's more than what anyone expected.

Every field of astrophysics - whether it's our local neighborhood of planets, nearby stars and their attendant planets, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, out to the edge of the universe - every field has questions that are awaiting the power of Hubble.

What I want to look at with Webb is what we call ice giants in our solar system - the planets Neptune and Uranus.

There's this myth that science is hard. But everything is hard.

The thing about telescopes is that the mirror is the main component. Once that's built, you don't need to build new ones; you just need to swap out the instruments. There's nothing wrong with Hubble's mirror.

Every observation that we make, every mission that we send to various places in the solar system is just taking us one step further to finding that truly habitable environment, a water-rich environment.

Even after years of observing, a new picture of Uranus from Keck Observatory can stop me in my tracks and make me say, 'Wow!'

Hubble is absolutely unique; we must have a telescope in space to complement the very large telescopes on the ground.
