Forum Anthem

[Guest telescope4u]

I think that the forum deserves an anthem, something like "Starry Starry nights", "Moondance" or "Starman". Maybe something from Starsailor. Can you think of celestial songs ?

How about an entire album?

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon...

[OXO]

Jovian Overture composed by myself suits this forum full of chaotic madness but wonderfull atomsphere

Am listening to Holst while I wait for a break in the clouds......

Hows about The Galaxy song from "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.

Here are the lyrics for all them that have forgotten it.

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown,

And things seem hard or tough,

And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,

And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough,

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving

And reolving at nine hundred miles an hour.

It's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,

'Round the sun that is the source of all our power.

Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,

Are moving at a million miles a day,

In the outer spiral arm, at fourteen [40?] thousand miles an hour,

Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars;

It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side;

It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick,

But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide.

We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point,

We go 'round every two hundred million years;

And our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions

In this amazing and expanding universe.

Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,

In all of the directions it can whiz;

As fast as it can go, that's the speed of light, you know,

Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,

How amazingly unlikely is your birth;

And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space,

'Cause there's [removed word] all down here on Earth!

I personally think that this sums it up for me.
