Lyrics:

Out in space in the emptiness
You’ll find large clouds of gas and dust
Some are left over from a dying star
Others are where newborn stars are

These mysterious clouds are called Nebulae
There are several different kinds for you to see
Out in the expanse of our galaxy
We’ll go on an epic journey

CHORUS: Let’s go meet a Nebula
The coolest spectacle you ever saw
Incredible sculptures of gas and dust
Meeting one it is a must

Let’s go meet a Nebula
The greatest phenomena you ever saw
Let’s go meet a nebula now
Come with me I’ll show you how

A diffuse emission nebula, I’m called the eagle nebula, you may ask why
Because I look like an eagle with its wings spread wide
But I’m also home to one of Hubble’s most famously photographed sights
The celestial wonders known as the Pillars of Creation, that is right

These pillars are more than just a beautiful sight in me
They contain EGGs - Evaporating Gaseous Globules you see
Blobs of gas that are hatching new stars, a stellar nursery
Discovered in 1745, the constellation Serpens is where you’ll find me

I have many names, Caldwell 6 and NGC6543
Most commonly known as the Cat’s Eye Nebula, first nebula studied spectroscopically
Scientists studied absorption and emission of light and radiation by me
Hubble captured images of me that are purr-fectly stunning to see

Discovered in 1786, I’m one of the most complex nebulae ever seen
I appear to have a bulls-eye pattern, with at least 11 rings around me
They’re spherical bubbles, from my pulsing star ejecting it’s mass every 1500 years or so
You can look into my cat’s eye in the Constellation Draco

CHORUS

A lion’s head, a clown face, an Eskimo, no I’m NGC 2392
I can look like a lot of different types of things to you
I’m actually a bipolar, double shell planetary nebula you see
Discovered in 1787, find me in Gemini, your sun may end up just like me

The Waterfall Nebula stunningly beautiful and proud
In the Orion Constellation part of the Orion molecular cloud
Scientists are baffled by my origin and structure of which little is known
My beauty is unparalleled and my secrets are my own

I’m NGC 6826 also known as Caldwell 15
A planetary nebula that looks like I blink
I have a bright white dwarf star at the center of me
Surrounded by a greenish orb of gas that was ejected you see

Stare directly at me and you’ll only see my bright central star
Then look slightly to the side of me, suddenly you’ll see the gas of my nebula
When you switch from looking straight on to averted vision I blink off and on
Discovered in 1973, I’ll wink at you from the Cygnus constellation

CHORUS

I’m the red square nebula, one of the most symmetrical celestial objects ever seen
I look like a large square surrounding two cones, you see what I mean?
I have rungs in the cones, which suggests my central star erupts episodically
Discovered in 2007 by the Hale telescope at the Palomar observatory
I’m a bipolar nebula surrounding the star MWC 922
The bright center of my shape that makes me visible to you
My perfect symmetry suggests the space around me is very still, no stellar wind
You can see my mysterious shape in the Constellation Serpens

Out in space in the emptiness
You’ll find large clouds of gas and dust
Some are left over from a dying star
Others are where newborn stars are

These mysterious clouds are called Nebulae
There are several different kinds for you to see
Out in the expanse of our galaxy
We’ll go on an epic journey

CHORUS

Counter Melody:
We are nebulae
Cosmic mysteries
Drifting through the galaxy
shimmering light so pure
with secrets we obscure
waiting to be explored
by you
Come and meet a nebula
Let’s go meet a nebula
