I wrote an ode to the Christmas Tree Cluster, and all the other awesome astronomical objects in it’s region. For now, you can find the recording here on my tumblr, because I didn't really feel like figuring out music hosting today, but I'll update this post with embedded music once I've wrangled that.

I hope everyone is having a great holiday, whichever that one may be! Enjoy the filk!

 

O Christmas Tree Cluster

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!
