A Quote by Seth Shostak

Of course, Sol is a big ball of hot gas, but one that - thanks to its endlessly boiling innards - shakes and vibrates. By studying patterns on the Sun's surface, astronomers can learn much about Sol's internal construction.

Studying Sol's interior by looking for analogous patterns on its incandescent face is known as helioseismology, an active - if largely unpronounceable - research area that uses sound as a probe of our home star.

i remember we all cried like the Missouri when my Uncle Sol's coffin lurched because somebody pressed a button (and down went my uncle Sol and started a worm farm)

e. e. cummings

I am, of course, delighted but there was never any doubt about Sol staying.

Arsene Wenger

The truth about the Costa del Sol is that what endures, what is worthwhile, is what is Spanish.

David Hewson

We became astronomers thinking we were studying the universe, and now we learn that we are just studying the 5 or 10 percent that is luminous.

Vera Rubin

I worked for 22 years with Sol Berson.

Rosalyn Sussman Yalow

Every day, the temperature of Sol's surface increases by five billionths of a degree, a change of no consequence for thousands of millennia to come. But a few hundred million years from now, barring a fix by our descendants, this relentless heating will substantially change Earth's biosphere in ways that might not be survivable for us.

I've teamed up with Pine Sol to celebrate the makers of home.

Christina Milian

I once worked as a tour guide in the Costa del Sol of Spain.

Harlan Coben

I have a little Honda Del Sol that I just refuse to get rid of.

Mark Pellegrino

Sol has experience, pace and physical power, which nobody else has together.

Arsene Wenger

Faith-healing is peculiar enough at the best of times, but applying it to football merits a special league of barking. Why would God bother to perform a miracle that enabled Sol Campbell to yell Oh holy Jesus, now I can win the ball in the air. It's been five years since I could defend from corners, brothers and sisters, it's a miracle.

Mark Steel

A hot air balloon requires a great deal of fuel to keep it aloft, so that you can't fly it even for one day. A gas balloon, which usually uses helium, has the problem that the helium cools at night when the sun is not on it, and you have to throw ballast overboard to keep it from going to the surface.

Steve Fossett

Going to Cambridge was a bit of a culture shock, I was a working class lass from Batley who hadn't been anywhere apart from the odd holiday on the Costa Del Sol.
