    Of talent, some might say you’ve “Got it down to a science”. But only when it’s also beautiful have you “Raised to an Art”.

        .@neiltyson I'm a fan of the idea (often via @LKrauss1) the core intent of science & art is the same: to help define our place in the cosmos

        .@neiltyson @LKrauss1 That was perhaps misstated: the core *result* of science and art. Not necessarily the intent
