1 Shoulders of Giants AstroCappella: Shoulders of Giants Music and Lyrics by Padi Boyd © 2008, The Johannes Kepler Project This song was commissioned by the Johannes Kepler Project for the International Year of Astronomy "Shoulders of Giants", which celebrates Galileo's first glimpse of the heavens through his telescope -- and the astonishing pace of discovery ushered in by his observations.

2 It was a calm and cloudless night but it was all still a blur…

3 A shaking of our Universe was just about to occur …

4 It was Summertime 1609 when Galileo used his telescope for the very first time.

5 and he saw mountains and craters on the moon … and a Milky Way with thousands of stars … and he saw Jupiter, with four tiny moons

6 He was the only man on Earth that night who knew … That Copernicus was right. Come outside with me tonight –

7 And I can show you wonders of the world to surprise and delight

8 I've got my telescope with me just wait until you see that on the Shoulders of Giants we'll see beyond!

10 The world turns round and round now around 400 years have flown Since Galileo's telescope first focused the unknown… Now we use bigger glass to peer into the past And we're discovering the Universe's secrets at last

11 And there are geysers on Saturn's icy moon … And planets circling hundreds of stars … While all the Universe expands like a balloon. From Galileo's tiny scope we've come so far

12 Galileo was right when he looked out in the night And he discovered wonders of the world to surprise and delight… I've got my telescope with me just wait until you see We'll stand on the Shoulders of Giants...

13 And every step follows the one before And opens up a new frontier to explore

14 Our 'scopes are dancing in space To see the beauty and grace Oh, Galileo would approve, that's for sure.

15 And still for me and you we can join in on this too Just climb up here with me where we'll see more

16 It's a calm and cloudless night, come outside with me tonight and I can show you wonders of the world to surprise and delight … I've got my telescope with me – just wait until you see We'll stand on the Shoulders of Giants

17 Galileo knew that Copernicus was right. Come outside with me tonight … And I can show you wonders of the world to surprise and delight I've got my telescope with me – just wait until you see

18 We'll stand on the Shoulders of Giants …to see beyond!
