\u201cI want to teach the art of seeing an object. Any one can look, but when you\u2019re interested, you\u2019re seeing (an object) for what it is.\u201d
\u201cOnce you see Saturn, you\u2019ll be hooked. It\u2019s just majestic. The crazy thing for us astronomers, is that it IS that exciting every time you look. And the more you look, the more you learn.\u201d
