Lyrics:
I am Quaoar
And I’m a Dwarf Planet candidate
In the outreaches of the Kuiper Belt’s
where I orbit
My name Quaoar
There’s so much to learn about me
As we adventure
on our space journey odyssey
I was discovered on the
June 4, 2002, by astronomers Chad Trujillo
and Michael Brown
to name the two
The Samuel Oschin Telescope
did discover me
In California at the
Palomar Observatory
Named after an
important figure in the mythology
of Mission Indians
in Southern coastal California, you see
Before my name
was approved by the IAU
My provisional designation
was 2002 LM60 it’s true
My name in full
is 50000 Quaoar
And I’m roughly
half the size of our Dwarf Planet Pluto by far
I am Quaoar
And I’m a Dwarf planet candidate
In the outreaches of the Kuiper Belt’s
where I orbit
My name Quaoar
There’s so much to learn about me
As we adventure
on our space journey odyssey
My Orbit around the sun
Is nearly circular you know
About 285 Earth years
Is 1 year on my surface though
Astronomers think
my color’s moderately red
And that I’m 1250 kilometers
in diameter they said
I’m about 6 billion kilometers
from Earth
It would 100,000 years
to walk to me for what its worth
Scientists were shocked to find
signs of Crystalline Ice
and Ammonia Hydrate
on my surface isn’t that nice
I am Quaoar
And I’m a Dwarf planet candidate
In the outreaches of the Kuiper Belt’s
where I orbit
My name Quaoar
There’s so much to learn about me
As we adventure
on our space journey odyssey
I have one known satellite
Its name is Weywot
February 22, 2007’s
when you learned of it
Michael E.Brown
did discover my Moon
From images taken in February 2006
that is true
Weywot size is about
74 kilometers
That's an estimated size of my
satellites diameter
There’s more trans-Neptunian
objects yet to be found
Maybe you could be the next astronomer
to break that unknown ground
I am Quaoar
And I’m a Dwarf planet candidate
In the outreaches of the Kuiper Belt’s
where I orbit
My name Quaoar
There’s so much to learn about me
As we adventure
on our space journey odyssey
