We've explored every type of environment in the solar system at least once. — Heidi Hammel Environment Copy Share Image
I went to MIT. I do rocket science. Being a mom is much harder. — Heidi Hammel Being Copy Share Image
There's this myth that science is hard. But everything is hard. — Heidi Hammel Everything Copy Share Image
Weather forecast for Jupiter's South Equatorial Belt: cloudy with a chance of ammonia. — Heidi Hammel Belt Copy Share Image
The Hubble images far surpassed anything taken by any telescope on Earth. — Heidi Hammel Anything Copy Share Image
We need people pushing the boundaries. Exploration is what we, as humans, do. — Heidi Hammel Boundaries Copy Share Image
Together, NASA and Hubble are opening new vistas on the universe. — Heidi Hammel Hubble Copy Share Image
I think all scientists are like detectives. We are most happy when we find something that doesn't fit our expectations. — Heidi Hammel Expectations Copy Share Image
Hubble is absolutely unique; we must have a telescope in space to complement the very large telescopes on the ground. — Heidi Hammel Galaxy Copy Share Image
Even after years of observing, a new picture of Uranus from Keck Observatory can stop me in my tracks and make me… — Heidi Hammel Even Copy Share Image
Because Hubble's been up so many years now, it's actually given us a window to things like... how planets' atmospheres actually change,… — Heidi Hammel Change Copy Share Image
The Hubble Telescope can see the farthest galaxies. The Webb Telescope will see the farthest stars. — Heidi Hammel Astronomy Copy Share Image
As you go further from the sun, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus are each colder in their upper atmosphere. But when you get… — Heidi Hammel Go Copy Share Image
What I want to look at with Webb is what we call ice giants in our solar system - the planets Neptune… — Heidi Hammel Giants Copy Share Image
You make sure you broaden yourself and have a good solid background in many different things. That's what you need to be… — Heidi Hammel Broaden Copy Share Image
The thing about telescopes is that the mirror is the main component. Once that's built, you don't need to build new ones;… — Heidi Hammel Galaxy Copy Share Image
Whatever I was going into, whether it was going to be chorus or history or astronomy or whatever, do it right. Be… — Heidi Hammel Astronomy Copy Share Image
No one planet can tell us everything about the universe, but Neptune seems to hold more than its share of information about… — Heidi Hammel Everything Copy Share Image
I don't think I could advocate for increasing NASA's budget by a factor of two or ten, because I want us to… — Heidi Hammel Budget Copy Share Image
I feel like an old-fashioned mountain climber when I am making discoveries, seeing something for the first time, realizing that no human… — Heidi Hammel Feel Copy Share Image
People seem to be afraid of science, and certainly, people seem to be afraid of mathematics. And I think that's such a… — Heidi Hammel Hard Copy Share Image
Most people have already seen a cosmic collision. If you've seen a shooting star ever, you've seen a cosmic collision, because a… — Heidi Hammel Cosmic Copy Share Image
We need to be very thoughtful about how we propose to spend the money that NASA does have for space exploration. And… — Heidi Hammel Money Copy Share Image
We thought of Uranus's atmosphere as pretty much dead. And it's not. — Heidi Hammel Atmosphere Copy Share Image
If there were creatures on Uranus - and I don't think there are - seasonal affective disorder would be a lifetime thing. — Heidi Hammel Creatures Copy Share Image
My message is don't be discouraged by anything anybody tells you. In my case of the science thing, and I just ignored… — Heidi Hammel Anything Copy Share Image
Neptune's unusual behavior is showing us that though we can make great models of planetary atmospheric circulation, there may be key pieces… — Heidi Hammel Behavior Copy Share Image
C is a passing grade. You don't need straight A's to be a scientist, despite what you may have heard. — Heidi Hammel Grade Copy Share Image
Hubble orbits high, outside Earth's atmosphere so it can see a wide spectrum of light our atmosphere blocks. — Heidi Hammel Earth Copy Share Image
We really have only been observing Neptune with big telescopes since shortly before 1989. — Heidi Hammel Big Copy Share Image
Technological prescience in science fiction usually requires an author with luck. Societal prescience requires a poet. — Heidi Hammel Books Copy Share Image
We need to know math to be a good scientist, but math is a language, and we need to learn the language… — Heidi Hammel Education Copy Share Image
The Hubble program has been so fantastically successful. It's more than what anyone expected. — Heidi Hammel Been Copy Share Image
I would encourage anybody who's interested in any kind of science, engineering, math field, to go after that. — Heidi Hammel Engineering Copy Share Image
We don't use Hubble to stare at Jupiter unless there's a special event or some special reason. — Heidi Hammel Hubble Copy Share Image
Having the young people engaged, involved, and being the leaders themselves is a great way to capture them intellectually and emotionally. — Heidi Hammel Great Copy Share Image
