The Astronomically Minded
-- Joan Flux, S&T July 1964
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Now I know just what you are,
I can give you cast-Iron facts
About your weight and parallax.
To me, your rate of radiation
Is simple as the earth's nutation
Even if you're purest gas,
I can calculate you mass
Think you're a mystery? What a hope
Not with my new spectroscope
