Jeff Hester Quotations

We had been playing a game of the blind man and the elephant.

My preference is to keep him. He's done an awesome job. When the season's over, we'll sit down and talk, map out a plan and go from there. We're trying to find out if he has to take classes to work toward a teaching license. I appreciate the rule, (but) it can handicap small schools.

We can see how this awesome cosmic generator actually works. The Crab Nebula has really come to life.

Assuming that it holds up -- and I believe it will -- this is a theory that both greatly clarifies the way that most stars in the universe probably form, and also ties the properties of the solar system and Earth itself back to the conditions in the larger astrophysical environment in which we formed.

You're not just looking at shrapnel of the explosion, you're looking at a bubble. It's just this expanse that is filled with matter and antimatter electrons moving at almost the speed of light.

There is no way that you can form iron-60 other than in a massive, evolved star.

This is a very scientifically interesting object. It's not just a pretty picture.
