The Milky Way Galaxy, that's our home,

we should explore it! Let's go roam!

Here on the left is our solar system.

There are eight planets, it's hard to miss 'em.

There's Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars,

and Jupiter and Saturn spin pretty far!

Then there's Uranus, that's a funny name!

And last is Neptune made with methane.

We will be at the center in 25,000 light years.

So sit in a chair and forget all your fears.

Can you count all the stars? There's over 400 billion.

That's a lot to the average civilian

Look how this supernovae scientifically appears!

This only happens every 50 years.

Look at them now! In a second they'll fade.

Only to reappear in half a decade!

This galaxy is old so prepare yourself.

It's almost as old as the universe itself.

The galaxy has stars, white as mayo,

which come together to make a halo.
