    For those of you that like music that teaches science, here's on about the Swift satellite (the satellite that detected the flare discussed in the article). You can listen to the lyrics here and the lyrics are posted here. AstroCappella is the group that recorded this; they have several rather interesting songs available.

  3. SWIFT explained in song by TheLoneDanger · · Score: 2, Funny · on Furthest Gamma-Ray Burst Ever Observed

    Here's SWIFT explained through a song by some astronomers who also sing a capella. Much more entertaining than RTFA.

  4. AstroCapella song about Swift... by TheLoneDanger · · Score: 1 · on Black Hole Birth Detected this Morning

    Does anyone remember this song about Swift? It came up a long time ago on Slashdot in a story on the RIAA bothering people over mp3s that contained the word "usher" in them.

  5. Re:Swift Song... by Satai · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Swift Observatory Launched

    You may recall the issues having that song on their site has caused for the Penn State Astro Department...

    PSU was a major partner in Swift, and the MOC will be in State College, PA. It's a great place to be right now for GRB physics...

  6. Astrocappella by the Chromatics by jfengel · · Score: 1 · on Science Songs as MP3
    The Chromatics are an a capella group of NASA employees and other space geeks at Goddard Space Flight Center. Their album AstroCappella is full of astronomy-related songs designed for educational use. And they sing really well, too.


    If nothing else, I learned that Wolf 359 isn't just a place on Star Trek. It's the third closest star to ours (which makes great sense as the last defense of Earth from the Borg.)
