True. The planets are in a formation, a pentagram. It's as if they were pulled together on purpose." "Maybe they were. Where is the earth aligned with these planets?" asked Jenn."It looks as if we're right in the center. Earth would be the middle point to the pentagram." "So the planets are surrounding us," said Jenn.Scott nodded. "The planets are surrounding us. By Katie Mattie Planets True Pentagram Surrounding Earth

I gaze out, to the stars. I remember the first time I saw real stars, through the hatch window. They were beautiful then, but now, seeing them here, all around me, beautiful feels like an inadequate word. I see the stars as a part of the universe, and having spent my life behind walls, suddenly having none fills me with both awe and terror. Emotion courses through my veins, choking me. I feel so insignificant, a tiny speck surrounded by a million stars.A million suns.Centuries away is Sol. Circling around it is Sol-Earth, the planet Amy came from. And one of these other stars is the Centauri binary system, where the new planet spins, waiting for us.And here we are, in the middle, surrounded by a sea of stars.Any of them could hold a planet. Any of them could hold a home.But all of them are out of reach. By Beth Revis Stars Gaze Planet Beautiful Hold

Our solar system is fantastically bizarre. There are worlds with features we never imagined. Storms larger than planets, moons with under-surface oceans, lakes of methane, worldlets that swap places ... and that's just at Saturn. By Phil Plait Bizarre Solar System Fantastically Saturn

You promised the moon, but I prefer Uranus. By Red Peters Uranus Moon Promised Prefer

Know thou that every fixed star hath its own planets, and every planet its own creatures, whose number no man can compute. By Baha'u'llah Creatures Compute Thou Fixed Star

Gravity may put the planets into motion, but without the divine Power, it could never put them into such a circulating motion as they have about the Sun; and therefore, for this as well as other reasons, I am compelled to ascribe the frame of this System to an intelligent Agent. By Isaac Newton Power Sun Agent System Put

In space there are countless constellations, suns and planets; we see only the suns because they give light; the planets remain invisible, for they are small and dark. There are also numberless earths circling around their suns ... By Giordano Bruno Planets Constellations Light Invisible Dark

A miniature model of the solar system, contained within a glass dome. It was a beautiful thing; each of the moons glimmered in place around the nine planets and the fiery sun, By J.k. Rowling System Contained Dome Miniature Model

We're just learning that a lot of planets are small planets, and we didn't know that before, fact is, in planetary science, objects such as Pluto and the other dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt are considered planets and called planets in everyday discourse in scientific meetings. By Alan Stern Planets Pluto Kuiper Belt Fact

Since stars appear to be suns, and suns, according to the common opinion, are bodies that serve to enlighten, warm, and sustain a system of planets, we may have an idea of the numberless globes that serve for the habitaton of living creatures. By William Herschel Suns Warm Serve Opinion Enlighten

NASA should start thinking about this planet. By Wally Schirra Nasa Planet Start Thinking

Thank you for showing me your planet. By Rebecca Stead Planet Showing

I've got two neptunes here," said Harry after a while, frowning down at his piece of parchment, "that can't be right, can it?""Aaaaah," said Ron, imitating Professor Trelawney's mystical whisper, "when two neptunes appear in the sky, it is a sure sign that a midget in glasses is being born, Harry ... "Seamus and Dean, who were working nearby, sniggered loudly, though not loud enough to mask the excited squeals from Lavender Brown- "Oh Professor, look! I think I might've gotten an unexpected planet! Oooh, which one's that, Professor?""It is Uranus, my dear," said Professor Trelawney, peering down at the chart."Can I get a look at Uranus too, Lavender?" said Ron. By J.k. Rowling Harry Aaaaah Professor Ron Neptunes

Of our nine planets, Saturn is the one that looks like fun. By Tom Robbins Saturn Planets Fun

Astronomy teaches the correct use of the sun and the planets. By Stephen Leacock Astronomy Planets Teaches Correct Sun

Oh, my dear Kepler, how I wish that we could have one hearty laugh together. Here, at Padua, is the principal professor of philosophy, whom I have repeatedly and urgently requested to look at the moon and planets through my glass, [telescope] which he pertinaciously refuses to do. Why are you not here? what shouts of laughter we should have at this glorious folly! and to hear the professor of philosophy at Pisa laboring before the grand duke with logical arguments, as if with magical incantations, to charm the new planets out of the sky. By Galileo Galilei Kepler Dear Hearty Laugh Padua

The outermost - Jupiter XXVII - moved backwards in an unstable path nineteen million miles from its temporary master. It was the prize in a perpetual tug-of-war between Jupiter and the Sun, for the planet was constantly capturing short-lived moons from the asteroid belt, and losing them again after a few million years. Only the inner satellites were its permanent property; the Sun could never wrest them from its grasp. By Arthur C. Clarke Xxvii Jupiter Sun Million Outermost

One planet doesn't matter. By Wendy Mass Matter Planet

It is only a little planet, but how beautiful it is. By Robinson Jeffers Planet Beautiful

There are innumerable worlds of different sizes. In some there is neither sun not moon, in others they are larger than in ours and others have more than one. These worlds are at irregular distances, more in one direction and less in another, and some are flourishing, others declining. Here they come into being, there they die, and they are distroyed by collision with one another. Some of the worlds have no animal or vegetable life nor any water. By Democritus Sizes Worlds Innumerable Moon Sun

When the Earth was just a child,He searched for his mother Venus;And for his father Mars,But they were not home;They were gone elsewhere,Out there, in the great expanse; Beyond the breathing universe. By Stephan Attia Venus Earth Home Expanse Universe

The organs of Venus are familiar to all, but oh, my brothers, the organ of Saturn is the bladder. By David Mitchell Venus Saturn Brothers Bladder Organs

In the visible world, the Milky Way is a tiny fragment; within this fragment, the solar system is an infinitesimal speck, and of this speck our planet is a microscopic dot. On this dot, tiny lumps of impure carbon and water, of complicated structure, with somewhat unusual physical and chemical properties, crawl about for a few years, until they are dissolved again into the elements of which they are compounded. By Bertrand Russell Fragment Milky Speck Dot World

Authors may be divided into falling stars, planets, and fixed stars: the first have a momentary effect; the second have a much longer duration; but the third are unchangeable, possess their own light, and work for all time. By Arthur Schopenhauer Stars Planets Authors Effect Duration

It was becoming more and more clear that if the asteroids were the schools of minnows swimming among the pod of whales, then Pluto and the Kuiper belt objects were simply a previously overlooked collection of sardines swimming in a faraway sea. By Mike Brown Pluto Kuiper Swimming Whales Sea

I shot the first planet this afternoon. By Andrew J. Patrick Afternoon Shot Planet

They have likewise discovered two lesser stars, or satellites, which revolve around Mars, whereof the innermost is distant from the center of the primary exactly three of his diameters, and the outermost five: the former revolves in the space of ten hours, and the latter in twenty-one and a half, so that the squares of their periodical times are very near in the same proportion with the cubes of their distances from the center of Mars; which evidently shews them to be governed by the same Law of Gravitation that influences the other heavenly bodies. By Jonathan Swift Mars Center Law Gravitation Stars

Planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus. By Johannes Kepler Sun Planets Focus Move Ellipses

In the four years since its launch, Kepler has chalked up 122 new and confirmed planets. It's also caught the scent of nearly three thousand additional objects, of which probably 80 percent or more will turn out to be other-worldly orbs. By Seth Shostak Kepler Launch Planets Years Chalked

Pluto is not a planet, but I am. By Shaquille O'neal Pluto Planet

I have departed from this planet and I have left behind my poor earthly ones with their occupations which are as many as they are useless; at last I am living in the scintillating splendor of the stars, each of which used to seem to me as large as millions of suns. By Jules Massenet Useless Stars Suns Departed Planet

Mars and my stupidity keep trying to kill me. By Andy Weir Mars Stupidity Kill

In awe, I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebony void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang, for ever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought ... I must put a roof on this toilet. By Les Dawson Jupiter Mars Awe Hang Majesty

With the collision of the Shoemaker comet into Jupiter, the era of uniformitarian orthodoxy must come to an end. Minds that have been closed for nearly half a millennium can now be opened to see what really has happened to our planet in the past and that past is not as distant as we might suppose. By Vine Deloria Jr. Jupiter Shoemaker End Collision Comet

The Earth is the most powerful and energetic planet. By Abdul Kalam Earth Planet Powerful Energetic

Looking outward to the blackness of space, sprinkled with the glory of a universe of lights, I saw majesty-but no welcome. Below was a welcoming planet. There, contained in the thin, moving, incredibly fragile shell of the biosphere is everything that is dear to you, all the human drama and comedy. That's where life is; that's were all the good stuff is. By Loren Acton Space Sprinkled Lights Outward Blackness

In so many and such important ways, then, do the planets bear witness to the earth's mobility. By Nicolaus Copernicus Mobility Important Planets Bear Witness

Kepler's laws, although not rigidly true, are sufficiently near to the truth to have led to the discovery of the law of attraction of the bodies of the solar system. The deviation from complete accuracy is due to the facts, that the planets are not of inappreciable mass, that, in consequence, they disturb each other's orbits about the Sun, and, by their action on the Sun itself, cause the periodic time of each to be shorter than if the Sun were a fixed body, in the subduplicate ratio of the mass of the Sun to the sum of the masses of the Sun and Planet; these errors are appreciable although very small, since the mass of the largest of the planets, Jupiter, is less than 1/1000th of the Sun's mass. By Isaac Newton Sun Mass Planets Laws Law

Earth stuff, Mars boy. By Stephen Baxter Mars Earth Stuff Boy

Innumerable suns exist; innumerable earths revolve around these suns in a manner similar to the way the seven planets revolve around our sun. Living beings inhabit these worlds. By Giordano Bruno Innumerable Revolve Exist Suns Earths

A hundred and fifty years before, when the parochial disagreements between Earth and Mars had been on the verge of war, the Belt had been a far horizon of tremendous mineral wealth beyond viable economic reach, and the outer planets had been beyond even the most unrealistic corporate dream. Then Solomon Epstein had built his little modified fusion drive, popped it on the back of his three-man yacht, and turned it on. With a good scope, you could still see his ship going at a marginal percentage of the speed of light, heading out into the big empty. The best, longest funeral in the history of mankind. Fortunately, he'd left the plans on his home computer. The Epstein Drive hadn't given humanity the stars, but it had delivered the planets. By James S.a. Corey Earth Mars Belt War Reach

The discovery in 1846 of the planet Neptune was a dramatic and spectacular achievement of mathematical astronomy. The very existence of this new member of the solar system, and its exact location, were demonstrated with pencil and paper; there was left to observers only the routine task of pointing their telescopes at the spot the mathematicians had marked. By James R Newman Neptune Astronomy Discovery Planet Dramatic

In the fabulous ages of ancient times the appellations of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were given to the planets as being the names of their principal heroes and divinities. In the present more philosophical era, it would hardly be allowable to have recourse to the same method, and call on Juno, Pallas, Apollo, or Minerva for a name to out new heavenly body ... I cannot but wish to take this opportunity of expressing my sense of gratitude, by giving the name Georgium Sidus, to a star [Uranus], by which (with to respect to us) first began to shine under His auspicious reign. By William Herschel Venus Mars Jupiter Mercury Saturn

Cold stars reflected in the waterAbyss beckons us his dark distance.Our world, only one of hundreds,In which we can not see the sun.In this world, I am uneasy,I want to touch another planets.Because there is dark and cramped,That spirit is calling me to run.Wander through the world I'm tired,And every day to meet the dawn,For me this world has closed its doors.I want to go to other worlds,To know all mysteries of their,And here never to return. By Arthur Tomaszewicz World Dark Cold Return Stars

We seem, these days, much more willing to recognize the perils before us than we were even a decade ago. The newly recognized dangers threaten all of us, equally. No one can say how it will turn out down here. But this is also, we may note, the first time that a species has become able to journey to the planets and the stars. Sailors on a becalmed sea, we sense a stirring of the breeze. By Carl Sagan Days Ago Recognize Perils Decade

We have at last glimpsed the surface of the fabled world, Titan, Saturn's largest moon and the greatest single expanse of unexplored territory remaining in the Solar System today, By Carolyn Porco Titan Saturn Solar System World

On breezy days when the wind was not too light and not too strong, Will and Pamela and the children flew their homemade kites in Peaceful Park until they were specks in the blue sky. When the wind was just right, the kites felt so strong and safe up there that Honor imagined nothing could budge them.'Ho bum, boasted Will, 'I could stand here all day and this kite would hold. It's like fishing.''Fishing in reverse,' said Pamela. 'Sky fishing.''What do you fish for in the air?' asked Honor.Pamela and Will started laughing. 'Oh, planets,' said Will. 'The occasional comet. An asteroid or two.'Honor held one kite string, and Will held the other. Pamela held Quintilian. On those afternoons, four did not seem like the wrong number for a family. Four seemed just right. By Allegra Goodman Peaceful Park Pamela Wind Strong

The stars, they are as the sun. Each star. Every star. And those spheres- they are worlds, realms, each one different yet the same. By Steven Erikson Star Sun Stars Realms Spheres

This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being. By Isaac Newton Sun Planets Comets Beautiful System

I've always liked Saturn. But I also have some sympathy for Pluto because I heard it's been downgraded from a planet, and I think it should remain a planet. Once you've given something planetary status it's kind of mean to take it away. By Jared Leto Saturn Planet Pluto Sympathy Heard

So I saw many planets, and they looked just a little bit brighter than they do from Earth. By Sally Ride Earth Planets Looked Bit Brighter

Mars and my own stupidity keep trying to kill me. By Andy Weir Mars Stupidity Kill

The mass starts into a million suns; Earths round each sun with quick explosions burst, And second planets issue from the first. By Erasmus Darwin Earths Burst Mass Starts Million

The smaller the planets are, they are, other things being equal, of so much the greater density; for so the powers of gravity on their several surfaces come nearer to equality. They are likewise, other things being equal, of the greater density, as they are nearer to the sun. By Isaac Newton Equal Density Things Greater Nearer

You teach your daughters the diameters of the planets and wonder when you are done that they do not delight in your company. By Samuel Johnson Company Teach Daughters Diameters Planets

Nowhere in space will we rest our eyes upon the familiar shapes of trees and plants, or any of the animals that share our world. Whatsoever life we meet will be as strange and alien as the nightmare creatures of the ocean abyss, or of the insect empire whose horrors are normally hidden from us by their microscopic scale. By Arthur C. Clarke Plants World Space Rest Eyes

The enormity of the universe revealed by science cannot readily be grasped by the human brain, but the music of The Planets enables the mind to acquire some comprehension of the vastness of space where rational understanding fails. By Gustav Holst Planets Brain Fails Enormity Universe

Sir,-The Planet [Neptune] whose position you marked out actually exists. On the day on which your letter reached me, I found a star of the eighth magnitude, which was not recorded in the excellent map designed by Dr. Bremiker, containing the twenty-first hour of the collection published by the Royal Academy of Berlin. The observation of the succeeding day showed it to be the Planet of which we were in quest. By Johann Gottfried Galle Neptune Planet Sir Exists Position

The only planet we are sure is inhabited is a tiny speck of rock and metal, shining feebly by reflected sunlight, and at this distance utterly lost. By Carl Sagan Metal Shining Sunlight Lost Planet

All this long human story, most passionate and tragic in the living, was but an unimportant, a seemingly barren and negligible effort, lasting only for a few moments in the life of the galaxy. When it was over, the host of the planetary systems still lived on, with here and there a casualty, and here and there among the stars a new planetary birth, and here and there a fresh disaster. By Olaf Stapledon Story Living Unimportant Effort Lasting

It is well to understand how empty space is. If, as we have said, the sun were a ball nine feet across, our earth would, in proportion, be the size of a one-inch ball, and at a distance of 323 yards from the sun. The moon would be a speck the size of a small pea, thirty inches from the earth. Nearer to the sun than the earth would be two other very similar specks, the planets Mercury and Venus, at a distance of 125 and 250 yards respectively. Beyond the earth would come the planets Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, at distances of 500, 1806, 3000, 6000, and 9500 yards respectively. By H.g.wells Earth Yards Sun Size Distance

We explore astronomical life through medicate experience, and we live life through love and ardvarks. By Isabel Yosito Life Experience Ardvarks Explore Astronomical

After 7 or 8 billion years of such enrichment, an undistinguished star (the Sun) was born in an undistinguished region (the Orion arm) of an undistinguished galaxy (the Milky Way) in an undistinguished part of the universe (the outskirts of the Virgo supercluster). The gas cloud from which the Sun formed contained a sufficient supply of heavy elements to spawn a few planets, thousands of asteroids, and billions of comets. By Neil Degrasse Tyson Undistinguished Sun Orion Milky Virgo

Men are from Mars and women from Venus. Kids arrive when orbits collide. By Shikha Kaul Venus Mars Men Women Kids

What the hell happened to Pluto?! By Jay Asher Pluto Hell Happened

Here, in this waiting room, one could see a cross section of them - the hoppers, the creepers, the crawlers, the wrigglers, and rollers that came from the many planets, from so many stars. Earth was the galactic melting pot, he thought, a place where beings from the thousand stars met and mingled to share their thoughts and cultures. By Clifford D. Simak Room Hoppers Creepers Crawlers Wrigglers

We're on a planet. At the same time. In the Universe ... Let's do something Great Together! By Jeff Byington Planet Universe Time Great

We see it [the as-yet unseen, probable new planet, Neptune] as Columbus saw America from the coast of Spain. Its movements have been felt, trembling along the far-reaching line of our analysis with a certainty hardly inferior to that of ocular demonstration.

Yet in this my stars were not Mercury as morning star in the angle of the seventh house, in quartile with Mars, but they were Copernicus, they were Tycho Brahe, without whose books of observations everything which has now been brought by me into the brightest daylight would lie buried in darkness. By Johannes Kepler Mars Copernicus Brahe Mercury Tycho
