Lyrics

I’m Makemake
I have an official new moon
Let me introduce MK2
To all the world and you
Hello I’m MK 2
Satellite of Makemake
I was noticed one year ago
Now an official moon I be

In the month of April
in 2015
Is when I was noticed
by Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3

The Southwest Research Institute
Lead by Marc Buie
Are the first scientist in the world
to ever notice me

I’m very hard to see
Because I’m in the Kuiper belt
and my charcoal colored surface
Certainly doesn’t help

S/2015 (136472) 1
Is what I was Provisionally designated
But not much fun

They official nicknamed me
with the name MK 2
I’ll tell you more about me
after the chorus you’ll hear is through

I’m Makemake
I have an official new moon
Let me introduce MK2
To all the world and you
Hello I’m MK 2
Satellite of Makemake
I was noticed one year ago
Now an official moon I be

It’s estimated my Diameters
100 miles across
That's an estimate only
from a bunch of Astronomers

I’m 1,300 times fainter
Than Dwarf Makemake
When a telescope gets closer
They will see me more clearly

I’m 13,000 miles
from my dwarf planet so bright
And I’m called a moon because
I am a natural satellite

Makemake had what scientist
thought were dark warm spots
Now they think it was me
making those warm dots

I’m Makemake
I have an official new moon
Let me introduce MK2
To all the world and you
Hello I’m MK 2
Satellite of Makemake
I was noticed one year ago
Now an official moon I be

I’m Makemake
I have an official new moon
Let me introduce MK2
To all the world and you
Hello I’m MK 2
Satellite of Makemake
I was noticed one year ago
Now an official moon I be
