I wrote an ode to the Christmas Tree Cluster, and all the other awesome astronomical objects in it’s region. This is my present to you, Internet.
Have an awesome holiday– and may the stars shine bright tonight!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How brightly shines
your majesty!Called NGC
two-two-six-four,But you are also so
much more.O Christmas tree, O
Christmas tree,How brightly shines
your majesty!
O Christmas tree, O
Christmas tree,So many stars adorn
thee!Your stellar furnace
casts it’s glow,And bathes us in
it’s light below.O Christmas tree, o
Christmas tree,So many stars adorn
thee!
O Christmas tree, O
Christmas tree,Twinkling for our
jubilee!So far to fly for
Santa’s sleigh:Twenty-six-thousand
light years ‘way.O Christmas tree, O
Christmas tree,Twinkling for our
jubilee!
O Christmas tree, O
Christmas tree,We greet you at our
apogee!We lift our eyes up
to the sky;Your light inspires
man to fly.O Christmas tree, O
Christmas tree,We
greet you at our apogee!
