LYRICS:
Between Mars and Jupiter there is a large void
An area to study that astronomers enjoy
A gap with a ring made up of millions of planetoids
Or, also known as a belt of asteroids
Hurtling through space in their orbit round the sun
These large, irregularly shaped rocks have a lot of fun
Made up of different rocks and metals, each asteroid is unique
Lets go out and find some and see who we can meet
CHORUS: Let’s go meet the asteroids
They’re oddly shaped rocks, they’re not spheroids
Careening through space in an expansive void
Most of them won’t hit us, so don’t be paranoid
Lets go meet the asteroids!
Let’s go meet the 4 largest known asteroids!
My name is Ceres, the largest asteroid to be discovered
But now I’m classified as a dwarf planet, my true self has been uncovered
I’m the largest known object in the asteroid belt, it’s true
I have a thin atmosphere that could contain water vapor from my surface too
My name is Vesta, one of the 4 largest asteroids known
I have a unique surface, like that of terrestrial worlds long ago
My surface used to be very active and was covered in lava flows
I have a huge impact crater so deep that my inner mantle is exposed
My name is Pallas, the 2nd asteroid discovered, after Ceres
I have an eccentric, inclined orbit I like to orbit differently
I’m the asteroid Hygiea, but scientists discovered that I’m round
Which means, I finally qualify and I’m dwarf planet candidate now
CHORUS
I’m Ida, I’m special because I have a friend at my side
His name is Dactyl, my moon, and he’s only about a mile wide
We travel in the asteroid belt together, It’s good to have a friend beside me
There are hundreds of other asteroids that have moons or are binary
I’m Bennu, I don’t live in the asteroid belt, I orbit between Earth and Mars
I’m known as a Near-Earth asteroid, because from Earth, I’m not that far
Nasa’s OSIRIS-Rex visited me in 2018 and made a discovery
I shoot out plumes of dust that create a haze around me
I’m Itokawa, And I’m a Near-Earth asteroid too
I might collide with Earth someday but we’ve got about a million years before I do
I’m the first asteroid from which actual samples were taken from me
Now they’re back on Earth for scientists to study!
Asteroids range in size from really large to really small
But if you measured the mass of each asteroid and added up them all
The entire mass of the all asteroids in the asteroid belt combined
Is less than the mass of our moon, Luna, that totally blows my mind!
Not all the asteroids in are solar system are in the asteroid belt
There are Near-Earth asteroids inside the belt and other groups further out
Made up of different rocks and metals, each asteroid is unique
Lets go find some more and see who else we meet
CHORUS
Pa-troc-lus & Menoetius we’re binary asteroids
We’re not from the asteroid belt, (but further out) Trojan asteroids
We share Jupiter’s orbit in our journey around the sun
It’s a much longer orbit than the asteroid belt, but together it’s lots more fun
I’m Chariklo, not from the asteroid belt or Trojans, I live beyond this
I’m a member of an asteroid class known as Centaurs between Saturn& Uranus
I’m also very unique because of very special feature you see
I’m the first asteroid to be discovered with rings! I have 2 around me
I’m Near Earth Asteroid, Apophis, and will pass by earth in 2029
But, Don’t worry I won’t hit you, I just want to say hi
Lets go meet the asteroids!
Let’s go and meet some asteroids!
