Man with all his noble qualities, with sympathy which feels for the most debased, with benevolence which extends not only to other men but to the humblest living creature, with his god-like intellect which has penetrated into the movements and constitution of the solar system- with all these exalted powers- Man still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin.
Charles Darwin

We decided what we wanted in our house and built the solar system around that. Our house is an affordable house and is an interpretation of what a solar house of today could look like.
Alex James
The solar system is not a stable and quiet place.
Jack Lissauer
Solar provides a renewable resource. I put some panels on my own house, and there is a real benefit.
Paul Kelley
This facility will put the San Luis Valley on the map for solar power production and will also add significantly to the region's economy.
Pat Vincent
Solar has always been the little cousin left out. It always has been pitted as this boutique, niche technology for backwoods hippies or Malibu millionaires.
Bernadette Del Chiaro
This obviously shows that we are firmly committed to the environment and the production of renewable energy. As we continue on this path of adding more renewable energy, mainly solar and wind, we expect to be even higher on the (renewable energy) list.
Tom Henley
The world is full of tradeoffs, and sometimes 'renewable power' activists fail to recognize that. Solar energy collectors must displace a tremendous amount of natural landscape to produce any significant amount of energy. And anything less requires a great deal of financial expenditures for very little and very inconsistent power.
Ben Lieberman
The rovers are both in good shape. Normal science activities are increasing as we continue to get additional power out of the solar panels, primarily because the Martian day is getting longer.
Jim Erickson
It's almost like a cryogenic preservation chamber of what the solar system was like 4 billion years ago. It's a great way to get insight into the formation of the solar system.
Max Mutchler
This is in a real sense the capstone of the initial missions to explore the planets. Pluto, its moons and this part of the solar system are such mysteries that New Horizons will rewrite all of the textbooks.
Alan Stern
The sensation lies in the fact that the Bronze Age people managed to harmonize the solar and lunar years. We never thought they would have managed that.
Harald Meller
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
It is a single access tracking solar facility which means it is fixed in one location and the panel itself will track the sun.
Tom Henley
We're looking at solar panels and maybe a composting toilet.
Kathy Plunk
We're thrilled. This reverses a trend of decreases in (research and development). It shows that solar plays an important role in our energy mix.
Rhone Resch
We think a lot of secrets about the formation and evolution of the solar system will be found there.
Hal Weaver
We predict the next solar cycle will be 30 to 50 percent stronger than the last cycle.
Mausumi Dikpati
Because this belt has more asteroids than ours, collisions are larger and more frequent, which is why Spitzer could detect the belt. Our present-day solar system is a quieter place, with impacts of the scale that killed the dinosaurs occurring only every 100 million years or so.
George Rieke
The use of solar energy has not been opened up because the oil industry does not own the sun.
Ralph Nader
We have a long way to go because space exploration and science are not really priorities in American society. But we can continue to fight the good fight and promote education, scientific research, and intelligent plans to explore the solar system and universe with both people and machines.
Paul Hardersen
It means solar is heating your water 80 percent of the time. You're saving $400 to $600 a year because of solar.
Sandra Jones
Solar is but a tiny, tiny, tiny part of their business. They make 99.9 percent of their money in the oil business.
Lyle Brinker
The Earth with its solar heat input, heat rejection, and wheels of atmospheric and oceanic circulation, is a heat engine without [a] shaft. Its maximized mechanical power cannot be delivered, but is instead destined to dissipate through air and water friction and other forms of heat loss. It produces maximum power, which it then dissipates at a maximum rate.
Adrian Bejan
(Utilities) are negligent to their ratepayers if they are not considering building a concentrating solar plant in the next five years.
Rhone Resch
Our discovery suggests that different types of solar systems form around different types of stars.
Scott Gaudi
The brightest of even one of these stars at the distance of the sun could charge a solar powered car in one second with enough energy to drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco!
Jean Turner
The California Solar Initiative is the largest solar program in the country, and I hope it will be a model for other states.
Dian Grueneich
The particles are so small they should not last very long. You couldn't have the E ring just sit there for the age of the solar system. It had to be regenerated somehow.
John Spencer
I would say a couple of songs, Solar Flare for one and Thank Your Lucky Stars , number two, are the two more overt political songs on the record.
Julissa Martinez
Vulcan, for the Greek god of fire, really didn't fit something at the very edge of the solar system.
Stephen Kane
These results tell us that up to half of the material in the disk is ice. This fits in with the picture of our own solar system.
Klaus Pontoppidan
Much smaller than a big solar flare.
Neil Gehrels
Saturn is not going away, ... Neither are the planets. What's the rush? Why not delay our space probes a bit, make them smaller and more sophisticated and use solar power?
Michio Kaku
I think everybody in the know in the industry knows that the United States is going to be the biggest market in solar. We have all the right things happening here.
Ron Kenedi
We have a body of information as to what we'll find in the outer solar system. But we're certainly prepared to be surprised.
Dale Cruikshank
Chip makers will get what they need, but the solar cell companies will not get what they need and companies will not meet the forecasts people have for them.
Brett Hodess
They are primitive un-evolved bodies, so by studying these bodies we can learn more about how the solar system came to be in a way that's not otherwise possible.
Sheldon Schafer
The solar industry in general has really entered the mainstream of onsite power production for customers. But anybody who is making this large of a step, it truly is a big bold statement.
Rick Whisman
We were delighted to have worked with Microsoft on its electric solar system. Microsoft is effectively lowering operating costs, reducing purchases of expensive peak electricity, and improving the health and quality of life in California through its Silicon Valley Campus solar power program.
Dan Shugar
We're seeing a revolution where solar is disappearing into the building.
Ron Pernick
With rising energy prices and continued air pollution, this is exactly the kind of landmark initiative California needs. From this, we're going to see cleaner air, affordable solar energy and California regaining its world leadership in solar power.
Bernadette Del Chiaro
Uranus is one of the most chaotic and disruptive systems in the solar system.
Mark Showalter

Alan Thorpe
Rocks are pretty good radiation shields, particularly for the kinds of radiation or energetic particles likely to be in solar-system space.
Bruce Runnegar
We want to support solar technology and do our part to be a responsible business. By combining solar power and robotic cutting equipment, we are able to maintain our high-end snowboard reputation and show the younger generation that solar energy is the future.
Mike O'reilly
The Greco-Roman names that traditionally are used for naming bodies in our solar system have almost completely been used up on asteroids.
Stephen Kane
The fast-growing sunspot now covers an area of the solar disk equivalent to the surface area of 13 planet Earths. That makes it the largest sunspot of the current solar cycle.
Paal Brekke
It would be great some day to have astronauts in a rover on Mars. But just about anyone except an oil company executive would say its more important to have 50 million solar powered vehicles in the United States.
Brad Sherman
If you wish to study what the solar system is made of you study comets.
Donald Yeomans
[It's] time for the human race to enter the solar system.
Dan Quayle
The solar cell converts sunlight into electricity, ... or as AeroVironment likes to say, the plane is powered by it's shadow.
Richard Swanson
The science data set to return next year will have a huge impact on the way in which we deal with conditions on Earth, demonstrating how the exploration of the solar system has real impact on our daily lives.
Keith Mason
We haven't found an exact solar system analog, which would have a circular orbit and a mass closer to that of Jupiter. But this shows we are getting close.
Paul Butler
This is a shot to the solar plexus of George Bush's agenda. The ripples go out in so many different directions, to so many different areas of policy, domestic and foreign. It's second only to 9/11 in its impact on the course of the presidency.
William Galston
Today's vote promises to ultimately eclipse dirty and expensive fossil fuel with clean and efficient solar power.
Bernadette Del Chiaro
Once it gets there it opens up two covers and deploys high purity materials which are then used to collect the solar wind one atom at a time.
Don Burnett
Buildings that rely on reducing losses tend to be more robust than buildings that are solar. The basic idea about the passive house was to improve energy efficiency so far that the mechanics are simplified and you can get rid of radiators and save money, which can be spent on even more efficiency.
Jürgen Schnieders
We use solar at our home and business, and we probably save about 60% on our utility bills. Once you have an alternative energy system installed, it's your own little system and one that is making money for you.
Donna Napolitano
If you don't keep the Mars mission out front, people are going to ask, why are we returning to the moon? It's got to be because we're extending ourselves into the solar system.
Louis Friedman
It could have implications for moons outside the solar system. It gives us lots to ponder in terms of physical science as far as the energies it takes to produce these (plumes).
Alfred Mcewen
I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun's energy. If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago.
George Porter
It's sort of a big surprise to see such hot materials so far out in the solar system.
Thomas Morgan
We were stunned when we got to the comet and saw incredible features - steep cliffs, overhanging cliffs, spires and many features which, oddly enough, we had never been seen on other Solar System bodies.
Don Brownlee
If we can understand the origin of the sharp outer edge around HD 139664, we might better understand the history of our solar system.
Paul Kalas
I don't think Honda's solar-panel business will ever make economic sense, or be a large money loser either.
Yasuhiro Matsumoto
The establishment of these tax credits signifies that Congress recognizes solar as an important source of energy that belongs as a part of our national energy portfolio. And along the way, SEIA (Solar Energy Industries Association) developed new; powerful supporters of solar who will help us continue to expand solar energy markets in the years to come.
Rhone Resch
We've got the slowest 311 song ever, called 'Solar Flare,' which is a scathing political rap that [vocalist] S.A. [Martinez] puts over a really slow, heavy thing, ... And then there's also a really fast one called 'It's Getting OK Now,' which is [guitarist] Tim Mahoney channeling Dimebag Darrell [Abbott of Pantera].
Nick Hexum
There are also things like solar shades that block ultraviolet rays and improve energy efficiency.
Melissa Birdsong
The climate effect could come through some reduction of solar radiation by dust clouds. But we won't know until we look more closely at the data and do some model calculations.
Thomas Crowley
The fundamental reason for this mission is that we are collecting what we believe are the best preserved samples of the formation of our solar system and they are preserved because they formed these comet bodies beyond the major planets out beyond Neptune.
Don Brownlee
The main aurora oval on Jupiter we think should dim when the solar wind blows harder, but what we see is that actually gets brighter, which is totally counter intuitive and we still don?t know why.
Jonathan Nichols
It?s possible that some of the objects in our solar system actually formed around another star.
Scott Kenyon
We'll learn more about the relationship between the rings and satellites...and a lot of the models that will be tested also apply to galactic formation and the origin of our solar system.
Bonnie Buratti
This comet formed at very edge of the solar system ... out by pluto ... and spent all its lifetime out there until recently it came into the inner part of the solar system, where we could sample it.
Don Brownlee
We're approaching the end of a fantastic voyage. This is the farthest anything from Earth has traveled and come back. Soon we'll be able to examine the building blocks that formed the solar system 4.6 billion years ago.
Donald Brownlee
This is an exciting opportunity for us to help people contribute to a cleaner energy future by making solar electricity more accessible to more homeowners across the state. We look forward to selecting an outstanding institution to be our partner in this important new program to bring the benefits of renewable energy to people of all incomes throughout Massachusetts.
Warren Leon
It's going right on out of the solar system.
Paul Henry
California will be a leader in the next great high-tech growth industry - solar energy. This long-term, visionary policy will save ratepayers money, create high-paying jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy.
Rhone Resch
Already, China's world-leading solar industry provides water heating for 35 million buildings, and India's pioneering use of rainwater harvesting brings clean water to tens of thousands of homes.
Christopher Flavin
The disk of dust orbiting a star, similar to the dust we feel formed our solar system.
Michael Werner
The mission is an outstanding success. We had a perfect launch. The instruments are switched on, the solar panels are deployed, everything is working.
Gaele Winters
The ETF thing really hit Vanguard in the solar plexus. They're worried about losing their lunch to Barclays.
Dan Wiener
We are serious about solar cells, and in the future will be making hydrogen with them.
Takeo Fukui
The really fun part of it is discovering actual answers about what solar composition is.
Don Burnett
Getting a sample from a comet but not landing on it, is probably the best chance we have of discovering what the solar system was like 4.5 billion years ago.
Dr. Peter Tsou
Because energy is so hot and there aren?t that many players you can invest in. There aren?t many places to invest in solar energy, and we?ve done pretty well.
Roger Little
Just as a Chihuahua is still a dog, these ice dwarfs are still planetary bodies. The misfit becomes the average. The Pluto-like objects are more typical in our solar system than the nearby planets we first knew.
Alan Stern
It's those few unusual things that really tell you the story of the solar system.
Joel Parker
We're collecting things that are very ancient and even older than our solar system. We are literally reaching for the stars.
Don Brownlee
They were either red-hot or white-hot grains, and yet we collected them in a comet, the Siberia of the solar system.
Dr. Don Brownlee
As two massive objects pass near each other, gravitational forces induce dramatic physical changes—decompressing, melting, stripping material away, and even annihilating the smaller object. You can do a lot of physics and chemistry on objects in the solar system without even touching them.
Quentin Williams
At Evergreen, providing our customers with reliable, world-class solar products is our only business, ... This new tolerance standard combined with our ongoing commitment to innovation is helping us bring solar power into the mainstream as a dependable and affordable energy resource.
Terry Bailey
This is really a great day for NASA and the exploration of our solar system.
Andrew Dantzler
You've got wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, biomass, nuclear.
Carl Nellis
By looking at the sun at different wavelengths, we can peel off the different layers in the (solar) atmosphere, just like peeling an onion.
Paal Brekke
This program promises to make solar affordable for all of us, instead of being this niche technology.
Bernadette Del Chiaro
We're proud to be the number one provider of solar power in America. We were the first company to sell a solar panel in the U.S. in 1978. Now, nearly three decades later, solar energy is one of the best investments people can make anywhere, with as much as a 15% annual return on investment. Try to get that kind of return in the stock market.
John Schaeffer
It used to be that Pluto was a misfit. Now it turns out that Earth is the misfit. Most planets in the solar system look like Pluto, and not like the terrestrial planets.
Alan Stern
Is there some hint that global warming is the reason? Maybe. Or is it sunspot cycles? Is it fluctuations in solar activity? We don't know enough to make an absolute answer.
David Vallee
We're sitting in a shooting gallery, with hundreds of thousands of these things whizzing around in the inner solar system. So it's just a matter of time.
Rusty Schweickart
For the first time, we can predict the strength of the 11-year solar cycle.
Mausumi Dikpati
Watching the sunrise and sunset, and the way it illuminated the solar arrays on the service module was just phenomenal. It sparkled like a jewel out there against the blue background of the oceans. A very, very beautiful sight for us.
Scott Altman
It used to be said that Pluto is a misfit. But now we know Earth is the misfit. This is the most populous class of planet in our solar system and we have never sent a mission to this class.
Alan Stern
Given the size of California's solar power market, we expect our findings to have broad international interest.
Ryan Wiser
The radar system itself is energy efficient and that was a good place to start our energy calculations. As a general rule, it's more effective to add a solar-electric system after you have reduced your energy consumption as much as possible.
John Thornton
Our climate is very conducive to solar energy. There's a lot to be gained from harnessing passive solar potential and using the sun to heat our water and our homes.
Bill Parker
Quite coincidentally, the first tract of Angolan land to experience totality was also within the path of the total solar eclipse of 2001, June 21.
Fred Espenak
Satellites live and breathe in space; they are very vulnerable to solar activity. They affect our banking systems, our TVs and cell phones, all the luxuries of life.
Larry Combs
When we're in Sun, we run on the solar cells and charge the batteries. In eclipse, just the batteries power the spacecraft.
Bruce Yost
All of the thrusting is in the inner solar system, then it coasts.
Charles Johnson
I expect it to drive more demand in the marketplace. You're going to see the solar installers out there hawking their wares real strong.
Steve Still
Our goal is to give pilots and air traffic controllers a day or two notice of a possible solar event.
Philip Scherrer
I think that this is going to be the catalyst. One, this shows that this technology is good. Two, this reinforces that Nevada is the perfect place for solar development.
Rebecca Wagner
Solar stocks as a group are probably up 4 to 6 times more than most of the commonly followed indices.
Ron Pernick
Getting to Mars, we feel, is the definitive step that will open up the solar system to humanity.
Joseph Palaia
This mission will complete the initial reconnaissance of the solar system.
Todd Halvorson
Much of the earth's water and organics perhaps came from comets. This can give us a history of organics in the solar system.
Michael Zolensky
You've got to be careful when you look at the sun at anytime. Today is no different. The solar eclipse itself doesn't generate anymore unusual a phenomenon.
Paul Delany
And with fuel and energy prices at unprecedented levels, we know that to manage costs, we have to respond by encouraging energy efficient programs, and more importantly, by developing solar generation and fuel-cell generation projects.
Thomas Day
Our expedition was number 13 and there had been a solar eclipse the day before we left.
Marcos Pontes
We see that as being a very green way of going. It's something that you can run very easily off of solar or wind to generate the electricity.
Robert Boehm
The solar system that likely will be formed around this star will include planets orbiting in different directions, unlike our own solar system.
Jan Hollis
Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are completely safe to watch.
Fred Espenak
The president's pollsters are telling him that high energy prices and his drill-only energy policy are driving his job approval numbers down. So he's decided to go out and tell Americans what the polls tell him they want to hear. It's just the same old oil guy doing photo ops at solar plants.
Philip Clapp
It was funny. I gave her the sheet and she said, 'Mrs. Solar, I'm sweating.' She was stunned.
Paulla Solar
It's always exciting to find a new object in the solar system. This gives us further support that a giant collision took place at the beginning of the solar system.
Hal Weaver
There's a kind of temperature zoning in the solar system.
Mike Zolensky
If you were to put a solar water heater onto everyone's roof you would reduce peak resident demand by 40%.
Liz Mcdaid
We're going into new territory in some ways. But for Branford this means we are taking seriously the need to move to the future and find new ways to get energy. Imagine the impact it would have for residents to see solar panels at the high school or on town hall.
Lindsay Mathews
During tsunamis the first casualty is power. So solar panels need to be used to broadcast data to a satellite. All the nations are changing their systems to record on real time.
Patricio Bernal
The discovery of a solar system object larger than Pluto is very exciting. It tells us that Pluto, which should properly also be counted to the Kuiper Belt, is not such an unusual object.
Wilhelm Altenhoff
The five solid rocket boosters are burning just fine, sending the New Horizons spacecraft on its way to the very edge of our solar system.
Bruce Buckingham
As huge energy bills hit California mailboxes this month, there is no better time to jumpstart a mainstream solar power market. Today's vote promises to eclipse expensive and imported fossil fuels with clean and homegrown solar power.
Bernadette Del Chiaro
Ultimately, what we should aim for is to circulate zero-pollution energy through solar panels.
Takeo Fukui
The solar shortage will be most pronounced in 2006, and we anticipate only modest solar industry production growth of 9 percent.
Jesse Pichel
We have a much better insight into what causes the strongest, most dangerous solar flares, and how to develop forecasts that can predict an 'all clear' for significant space weather, for longer periods.
Karel Schrijver
I applaud DARPA for recognizing the tremendous potential of solar energy to provide reliable electricity to our troops in the field and to improve our energy security here at home.
Rhone Resch
This is the first reconnaissance mission of this region of the solar system. It's the only one of the nine planets that hasn't been explored, so this can complete the inventory of the solar system.
Hal Weaver
In 2005, we saw a tripling of venture capital money going into the solar industry compared to 2004.
Rhone Resch
Now the finger pointing will start, everyone having someone else to blame but at the end of the day, Sacramento failed to reach what was an easy compromise. Ultimately the problem with the Million Solar Roofs bill wasn't the policy, it was the politics.
Bernadette Del Chiaro
Not air pollution, nor blackouts, nor soaring energy costs were enough to elevate the Million Solar Roofs bill above the politics of the day.
Bernadette Del Chiaro
We did have a long hydrocarbon debate before we built, so we used propane. We also tried to do something fairly aggressive with solar heating. We generally produce about 30 percent of our energy.
Steve Packer
Sharp is proud to be a partner on this project. This solar array will help Napa Valley College conserve natural resources and save on utility bills.
Ron Kenedi
We have a solar-powered light in there so that at night, in Bandon, you can see it blinking. But it's just for aesthetics.
Reg Pullen
The bottom line is they want to build 2,450 homes outside the city on sensitive lands. All the solar panels in the world don't make that environmentally friendly.
David Reid
We do not know if planets like those in our solar system are able to form in the highly energetic, dynamic environment of these massive stars, but if they could, their existence would be a short and exciting one.
Charles Beichman
It has always been my vision to sell the solar products that we have developed nationally.
Norm Ehrlich
We're talking about over a half million dollars worth of stuff, including cars, computers, recreational vehicles, ATVs, solar panels, construction equipment.
Eric Poteet
We believe this process of forming stars in a cluster was exactly the same thing that happened with our very own sun 4 1/2 billion years ago. It tells us a lot about the history of our own solar system.
Erick T. Young
Scientists have long sought a sample directly from a known comet because of the unique chemical and physical information these bodies contain about the earliest history of the solar system.
Edward Weiler
Elite has grown gradually since we started in 1999 and while we are a small company, we doubled our sales last year. When electric prices go up, people begin to think again of solar.
