Hazel fell in love with astronomy and dedicated a song to it. Lyrics:<br><p>First comes the sun that gives us light,<br>
Inside the core conditions are right<br>
To cause the proton-proton chain<br>
Where mass is lost and energy gained<br></p><p>Now Mercury is rather small<br>
With craters covering it all,<br>
It had volcanoes long ago,<br>
But now activity is low<br></p><p>Next Venus comes, about the size<br>
Of Earth, but this is just a guise,<br>
Its pressure and its atmosphere<br>
And temperature are cause to fear<br></p><p>So Earth might be your better bet<br>
To live, for here our needs are met,<br>
We even have a decent moon<br>
That maybe we can live on soon<br></p><p>Now Mars we know a lot about<br>
With rovers sent to check it out<br>
Spirit and Opportunity,<br>
More recently curiosity<br></p><p>Past Mars the asteroids draw near<br>
Though really there's no need to fear,<br>
They're spaced so very far apart<br>
That hitting one would be quite an art<br></p><p>Next Jupiter comes towering in,<br>
In size and mass it's sure to win,<br>
Its great red spot alone could fit<br>
Two earths or more inside of it<br></p><p>Its moons are awesome, that's agreed,<br>
Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto,<br>
And could it be true<br>
That there's life on Europa too?<br></p><p>We come to Saturn with its rings<br>
That really are quite breathtaking<br>
They've got some gaps in, mainly due<br>
To moons, you know there's quite a few<br></p><p>There's Mimas and Enceladus,<br>
Pandora and Prometheus,<br>
The massive Titan dwarfs them all,<br>
Five thousand kilometres tall<br></p><p>And now we come to Uranus,<br>
Who's got a really curious<br>
Rotation axis, not aligned<br>
With all the others, never mind!<br></p><p>The last planet, but not the least,<br>
Compared to earth it's still a beast,<br>
It's Neptune, and its moon's quite neat,<br>
Its retrograde orbit's rather sweet<br></p><p>Well now we come to poor pluto,<br>
The scientists have voted no,<br>
We had to draw the line somewhere,<br>
I'm sorry pluto, life's not fair<br></p><p>But now you get to be the king<br>
Of the Plutinos under your wing<br>
And all the other KBOs,<br>
How many are there? No one knows<br></p><p>But that's not all, much further out<br>
You'll see some comets strewn about,<br>
Sometimes the comets end up here<br>
Although the Oort cloud's far from near<br></p><p>And that's the solar system's end<br>
From here you go alone my friend,<br>
The trip's a one-way trip you know,<br></p>
