Stars Quotes
From marquee names to the actual night sky.
This stars quotes page covers two very different meanings: the shifting fortunes of movie and TV stars getting displaced in a crowded industry, and genuine scientific wonder that we understand distant galaxies better than our own planet in some ways. One quote notes that stars, once you work with them, turn out to just be people. See Great for more on ambition and recognition.

We've seen black holes, which is already wonderful. We also expect to see the merger of neutron stars, and that was a thing that actually gave this field a certain credibility when it was discovered that there were pairs of neutron stars in our galaxy, and people stopped laughing at us when that was found out.

Data suggest that central black holes might play an important role in adjusting how many stars form in the galaxies they inhabit. For one thing, the energy produced when matter falls into the black hole may heat up the surrounding gas at the center of the galaxy, thus preventing cooling and halting star formation.
