Not sure if this sort of thing is typically posted here, but, on this week's Nature podcast, there is a holiday song about Hyabusa2 (there's also one about Opportunity that I posted elsewhere).
I pasted the lyrics below, the episode page is: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07842-8 Audio is at https://www.nature.com/magazine-assets/d415...8_16352770.mpga The song, sung by a soloist, is at about the 31 minute mark of the show. It was performed by Steve Waterman and Kim Collman, with lyrics by Noah Baker, and is sung to the tune of 'Hark! The herald angles sing'. (The Opportunity song was 'I had a little rover’, performed by the Simon Langton Boys’ School choir, with lyrics by Lauren Morello and Noah Baker. It was directed by Emily Renshaw-Kidd, sung to the tune of 'I Have a Little Dreidel'). Happy solstice. ---------------------------------- Hark! It’s Hayabusa2 Hark! It’s Hayabusa2 Landed on Ryugu Left from earth on its voyage to a nearby asteroid JAXA hope that it will be The mission we need to see Th’ origins of life on Earth samples are what proves its worth Hark! It’s Hayabusa2 Landed on Ryugu Hark! is that a hopping rover? bouncing all around the place? One of four precious payloads Three with cameras, out in space fourth is MASCOT, it has been Built by France and Germany, Specially designed to make Measurements of surface data Hark! it’s Hayabusa2 Landed on Ryugu Now here comes the main event For which all the Yen’s been spent Landing that is hard enough But then they’ve got to blow it up To collect these samples three Returning them back to see If the asteroid holds clues too the start of me and you Hark it’s Hayabusa2 Landed on Ryugu. |
