Lyrics:
I’m Ceres the closest dwarf planet to our sun
Named after the harvest goddess of the Romans
The only dwarf planet in the inner solar system
I am not an asteroid but I live with them
Dwarf planets all must have these main traits
We must have an almost spherical shape
An orbit around the sun, we can’t be moons you see
And we can’t have broken free from surrounding space debris
I make up nearly one third of all the mass in the asteroid belt here
But I’m not called a planet even though I am a sphere
I share my orbit with all of the asteroids around me
Which scientists consider to be the space debris
I’m Ceres the closest dwarf planet to our sun
Named after the harvest goddess of the Romans
The largest object in the asteroid belt, that’s me
But I’m still the smallest of the dwarf planets you’ll meet
I was spotted by Giuseppe Piazzi in 1801
He thought I was a planet, orbiting the sun
Around 50 years later I was called an asteroid
After more asteroids were discovered sharing the same orbit I enjoy
Technically, I was the first asteroid to be discovered
And almost 50 more years passed until the truth was uncovered
In 2006 your scientists finally agreed
That Dwarf Planet is the best classification for me
I’m Ceres the closest dwarf planet to our sun
Named after the Patron goddess of the Sicilians
I live in the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars
But I’m not an asteroid, I’m too round and large
I take 1,682 Earth days to orbit round the Sun
But only 9 hours to complete one rotation
I don’t have any moons orbiting around me
But I have plenty of asteroid friends to keep me company
A new element was discovered in 1803
An abundant rare-earth metal named Cerium, after me
Found in the earth’s crust is where it tends to be
Its used in ovens, lighters, lightbulbs and even flat screen TV’s
I’m Ceres the closest dwarf planet to our sun
Named after the harvest goddess of the Romans
The word Cereal, as in breakfast, comes from my name
Contributing even more to Increasing my fame
The first dwarf planet visited by spacecraft in 2015
Spacecraft DAWN discovered several bright glowing spots on me
Called faculae, these spots are a kind of salt (sodium carbonates)
Found in my Occator crater left from liquid that evaporates
I have water on me, an underground sea
Which means that alien life is a possibility
I’m losing 6 kg of mass per second from water vapor I release
Plumes eject into space from below my surface, underneath
I’m Ceres the closest dwarf planet to our sun
Named after the harvest goddess of the Romans
I live in the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars
But I’m not an asteroid, I’m too round and large
I’m mostly covered in small craters, but that’s not all you’ll see
I have a very tall mountain, Ahuna Mons on me
Because I have water and minerals all over, I’m a potential location
For humans to explore and even human colonization
The closest dwarf planet to Earth, between Jupiter and Mars
From Earth’s surface, I look like a very faint star
I’m very small and dim, and hard to see with just your eyes
But with a telescope you can find me in your night sky
I’m Ceres the closest dwarf planet to our sun
Named after the harvest goddess of the Romans
The closest and smallest dwarf planet that you’ll meet
Maybe someday soon you will visit me!
