Lyrics:
What's the name? NML Cygni
What's the name? NML Cygni
How do you spell it? N-M-L C-Y-G-N-I
NML Cygni!
NML Cygni is a red hypergiant they discovered in 1965
NML Cygni is a really big star too far to be seen with the human eye
NML Cygni, a.k.a. V1489
Is a red hypergiant or a red supergiant take your pick
Hanging out in the Milky Way sky
Part of the constellation called Cygnus
Surrounded by huge envelopes of space dust
NML is a star that loses its mass at high rates
And it's over 5,000 light years away
It's a red hypergiant hanging out in space
The constellation Cygnus is its permanent place
It's one of the most luminous in the Milky Way
And it loses lots of mass every day
NML Cygni is a little over 1,600 solar radii
NML Cygni is nearly as big as the hypergiant UY Scuti
When people say NML what they're really saying
Are the three names Neugebauer, Martz and Leighton
Keep in mind it was those three guys who discovered NML Cygni in 1965 (That's right!)
If you replaced the sun with this star
It's gigantic enough to extend super-far
All the way out to Jupiter, possibly Saturn
Either way the Earth would be consumed, so it wouldn't matter
It's a red hypergiant hanging out in space
The constellation Cygnus is its permanent place
It's one of the most luminous in the Milky Way
And it loses lots of mass every day
NML Cygni is a red hypergiant they discovered in 1965
NML Cygni is a really big star too far to be seen with the human eye
