Based on Lithuania 2024
Silvester Belt — Luktelk
Billions of miles
From our great sun
A little child
That has a story
Beyond Saturn
And son, Titan
Now twice distant
Enigma calling
Our Voyagers denied
Silent now, so very far away
Tombaugh, he lured us all
Saluting him as NASA soon deployed
New Horizons lifts off
To a world dismissed and alone?
Charon made us realise
Both of these exist intertwined
Pluto, Pluto. I’m in love with Pluto, Pluto
Pluto, Pluto. I’m in love with Pluto, Pluto
Neptune’s Triton
Nice vantage point
To see beyond
Untravelled areas
The joy for all enjoyed
Boggling the lengths that we will go
Flybys to both gave us
Images exquisitely clear
Charon stuck in rhythm
Painfully betwixt and between
Pluto, Pluto. I’m in love with Pluto, Pluto
Pluto, Pluto. I’m in love with Pluto, Pluto
Strung to each other
Neither slave to either
And we know for sure
Orbits four moons more
Kuiper Belt their playground
Target for tomorrow
Not just Europa
Plumes of H₂O!
Anguished interactions
Water melting deep underground
Solemn in their secret
Possible elixirs of life
Pluto, Pluto. I’m in love with Pluto, Pluto
Pluto, Pluto. I’m in love with Pluto, Pluto
