"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" - Lyrics by Jane Taylor (1806), Music from the French melody "Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman" (first published in 1761)

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark,—
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

(In summary - poor "seeing" conditions for astronomers; apparently good "seeing" conditions for travellers )

(ps. thanks Wikipedia)

I'm not usually interested in opera, but Alessandro Safina's "Luna" blows me away. Give it a chance - listen to the whole thing, and stare up at the moon while you CRANK it. It's one of those tunes where the chorus crescendo won't leave your head for weeks.

Yep I remember seeing it as well. From the first glimpse, I had the song! I cannot believe the information that stays stored away in my brain! Everything from years ago and nothing of what my Boss told me yesterday!

I can add the Vangelis album 'Albedo 0.39'. I think every song is about space. The title track is basically synth effects with someone reading out a list of the Earth's specifications (mass, surface gravitation, oblatness, obliguity of the ecliptic, ..., "albedo 0.39").

Then of course there is:

"And in the ruins of the balloon stood a man with glasses held high,
wondering when ... do it again,
have another fly into the sky,
somewhere flying high,
Astral Traveller..."
