AstroCappella: HST Bop!

Music by Cindy Lauper, S. Lunt, G. Corbett & R. Chertoff
Lyrics by William Kelleher


Well, I see you every night before I sleep
With my lenses and my mirrors or on Web TV
Hey, they say tonight you're rising in the East
You'll be the brightest thing at sixty-six degrees
HST
                        
Do you wanna see the things that no one else has seen?
Well then come and take a look throught a real time machine
Hey, theorists say some holes in space are black
Where light goes in but never does come back
HST

Black holes, cepheids, and quasars
Red dwarfs, giants, and pulsars

Fornax, the Virgo Cluster
Supernova, baby stars
Comas, nuclei, ice trails
Hale-Bopp ion and dust tails 
COSTAR corrected your vision
Ooooh HST

Do you wanna touch the edges of both space and time
Do you wanna know the origin of your world and mine
Hey, then find your library or CPU
Switch on the TV, ask your teachers too
HST
                        
Black holes, cepheids, and quasars
Red dwarfs, giants, and pulsars
Fornax, the Virgo Cluster
Giant halos, Martian storms
Comets, the Hubble constant

Redshifts measure the distance
Find out what you've been missing
Ooooh HST
