After finishing school, Plait worked for NASA on the Hubble Space Telescope. He then began working in the field of education before focusing on writing full time.BadAstronomy.com: Dr. Philip Plait BioQuote
"Astronomy has always been interesting. It’s beautiful…but then once you start getting telescopes, especially telescopes like Hubble, these pictures come back that are gorgeous…it really sparks our imagination; we wonder if there’s life out there and being able to travel there is like the ultimate adventure."YouTube Video: Mahalo Daily Interviews Phil Plait (Time: 6:02)-
