Celestial bodies in song titles
yes Cabezon, planets are allowed (except Earth)

and just in case you orgot or didn't read them, heres a copy of the original thread rules by Ruby...


For the purposes of this thread - the definition of a celestial body is:

Any natural body outside of the earth's atmosphere

(Not to be confused with ‘heavenly’ bodies – I think we all know exactly where that might end up! Lol!!)

… Not that things astronomical present any form of restriction – there are all sorts of galaxies, constellations and other whirling, twirling and speeding things out there with a preponderance of earthly names, especially now that anyone can have a star named after them (which no doubt expired gazillions of years ago; it’s a scam, I tell you, and who, exactly, has annexed outer space???!).

Anyway we’re talking here about the moon, sun, and the other planets of our own little solar system as well as asteroids and comets, and going further afield, Andromeda, or Alpha Centauri, Pegasus, or even the Milky Way, but preferably, not the ISS, or some other manmade capsule sponsored by Red Bull. Please.

And … song can mean an instrumental track too – the whole explanation would’ve made the thread title far too long.

Some sounds (greatly enhanced) from the comet Churyumov–Gerasimenko, commonly known as 67P – as recorded by the space probe Rosetta and its lander module Philae (which is now stuck forever on the surface of the comet having lost power and not able to recharge itself due to landing at an awkward angle) – Rosetta will join it later this year. Fascinating stuff … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVjU_4ETlcQ

Love that North & South album. In fact most of his albums are masterpieces. Used to have this on vinyl many moons ago - must get another copy - listening to this track takes me back.
