Pure science - this vision of the universe as 15 billion light years across - I am bedazzled and awed by it.

Who among us has never looked up into the heavens on a starlit night, lost in wonder at the vastness of space and the beauty of the stars?

You cannot look up at the night sky on the Planet Earth and not wonder what it's like to be up there amongst the stars. And I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos.

It bears mentioning that the Milky Way is only one of 150 billion galaxies visible to our telescopes - and each of these will have its own complement of planets.

I always think of space-time as being the real substance of space, and the galaxies and the stars just like the foam on the ocean.

I am deeply impressed with the way dark matter has explained cosmological observations.

We are discovering what the universe is really like, and it is totally magnificent, and one can only be inspired and awestruck by what we find.
