Ursa Major and Ursa Minor

Vot Ursa Major
Starry porridge stirs
Big ladle
In a big cauldron.

And
Ursa Minor glows dimly nearby.
Small dipper
Collects crumbs.

How to find the north?

There is a golden ladle in the sky
The name is Big Bear.
The secret - to find where the north is - is simple:
In the direction of the extreme stars
Lead a straight line,
Find the Polar Star,
Stand straight, look at it,
And the north will be ahead.

Planets

In order, all the planets
Name any of us:
One - Mercury,
Two - Venus,
Three - Earth,
Four - Mars.
Five - Jupiter,
Six - Saturn,
Seven - Uranus,
Behind him - Neptune.
He is the eighth in a row.
And after him already, then,
And the ninth planet
Under the name of Pluto.

A. Haight

Old and growing months

If the month is the letter "C",
So the old month;
If you add a stick to it
You will attach 9 to it0007 And you will get the letter "P",
So, he is growing,
So, soon, believe it or not,
He will become fat.

Starry sky

Here is the starry sky! What can be seen on it?
The stars there shine with a distant fire!
Are only the stars shining in the sky?
No! Planets roam among the stars!
How do they wander like that? Roads do not know?
No! It looks like they're wandering!
All of them - Suns are a big family.
And under the influence of its attraction
Eternally create circular motions!
And with them my planet -
The one that is called the planet "Earth",
The one on which you and I live!

Saturn

Each planet has something of its own,
What distinguishes it most clearly.
You will certainly recognize Saturn by sight -
It is surrounded by a large ring.

It is not continuous, from different stripes.
Scientists solved the problem this way:
Once upon a time, water froze there,
And Saturn's rings of snow and ice.

R. Aldonina

Yuri Gagarin

In a space rocket
With the name "Vostok"
He was the first on the planet
He was able to rise to the stars.

Sings songs about it
Spring drops:
Will be together forever
Gagarin and April.

V. Stepanov

It's so cool in space (excerpt)

It's so cool in space!
Stars and planets
In black weightlessness
Slowly floating!

It's so cool in space!
Sharp missiles
At great speed
Rushing here and there!

O. Akhmetova

Month-confectioner

Month-confectioner, wonderful baker,
What do you bake in heavenly heights?
Maybe delicious cakes
Silver star flour?

No. In vain we look, guessing.
What to expect from such a lazy person!
He baked a thin bagel for us,
And at dawn the bagel went out.

R. Sef

Lunokhod

Lunokhod landed.
Lunokhod in the lunolet.
Circuses, craters and holes
Lunokhod is not afraid.
He leaves drawings
On the surface of the moon.
A lot of dust, no wind.
Drawings live for a thousand years!

Valentin Berestov

Moon Sea

By the Moon Sea
Special secret -
It doesn't look like the sea.
There is no water in this sea
Not a bit
And there is no fish either.
In its waves
It is impossible to dive,
You cannot splash in it,
You cannot drown.
Swimming in that sea
Convenient only for those
Who can swim
Can't swim at all!

I will be an astronomer

- That's it, - I said firmly at home, -
I will only be an astronomer!
Extraordinary
Universe around the Earth!

R. Aldonina

Stars

In the black, velvety sky
Stars shine brightly.
Silver shimmery night
Decorates your outfit.

Mysterious, distant light,
Calling and beckoning,
To high aspirations
Calling me to heaven.

L. Gromova

Above the Earth at late night

Above the Earth at a late night,
Just reach out your hand,
You will grab the stars:
They seem to be nearby.

You can take a Peacock feather,
Touch the hands on the Clock,
Ride the Dolphin,
Swing on the Scales.

Above the Earth at a late night,
If you cast a glance into the sky,
You will see, like clusters,
Constellations hang there.

Above the Earth at a late night,
Just stretch out your hand,
You will grab the stars:
They seem to be nearby.

A. Haight

Cat's sadness

I have bad news.
I am sad like never before.
I found out: among the constellations
there is no constellation Cat!

There is a Wolf and a Hare in the sky,
Dove, Lizard, Whale.
The starry swan flies:
Even the fly is sitting there!
And around - Dogs, Pisces,
Two Bears and Lions,
A horse with a shaggy mane wanders
Among the cosmic grass:

Only there is no Cat. I'm crying!
No Star Cat!
Not even Cat's Whiskers,
No Cat's Tail!

I've been looking at the sky all night!
Just exhausted!
Why did I annoy the astronomers so hard
?

O. Akhmetova

Funny astronomy for kids (excerpt)

They stand in a circle and dance nicely
Aquarius with Capricorn,
Pisces wave their fins,
Aries hurries into the circle rather.

And Taurus will be by his side,
He tap dance famously.
There will be a dance until you drop,
A round dance will be kind.

Twins are dancing,
Cancer is backing behind them:
"What kind of strange dance is this?
Circle or belt?" - Zodiac!
Leo and Virgo became friends,
They swirled in a round dance,
Taking Libra with them
Amazing beauty.

Scorpio squatting
And waving its claw to Sagittarius.
This glorious round dance
will bypass the Sun in a year.
There are twelve of them in a round dance,
Is there more like it in heaven?
"How many constellations are there?" - ask!
"Exactly eighty-eight!"

Zh. Paramonova

Milky Way

Sky black velvet
Embroidered with stars.
Light path
Runs across the sky.

From end to end
Spreads easily,
As if someone had spilled
Milk across the sky.

But, of course, not in the sky
No milk, no juice,
We see our own star system
from the side.

This is how we see the Galaxies
Native distant light -
Space for astronautics
For many thousands of years.

R. Aldonina

Poems about space for children 5-6 years old

The verse "Planets" (A. Haight)

All the planets in order
Name any of us:
One - 07, Two - Venera Three is Earth, Four is Mars.
Five - Jupiter, Six - Saturn,
Seven - Uranus, Behind him - Neptune.
He is the eighth in a row.
And after him already, then,
And the ninth planet
Under the name of Pluto.

A short verse for preschoolers about Yuri Gagarin

In a space rocket

With the name "Vostok"

He was the first on the planet

He was able to rise to the stars.

Spring drop sings songs about this:

Gagarin and April will be together forever.

Short verse "Saturn" (V. Stepanov)

Each planet has something of its own,
What distinguishes it most clearly.
You will certainly recognize Saturn by sight -
It is surrounded by a large ring.
It is not continuous, from different bands.
Scientists solved the problem this way:
Once upon a time, water froze there,
And Saturn's rings of snow and ice.

Famous verse "I will become an astronaut!"

I will become an astronaut —

The whole family knows this.

I will fly to deep space

And I will study the constellations!

I can't count all the planets...

So I want to fly

From star to star

Unprecedented beauty!

I'll give mom and dad

The dawn of a new star,

And the cosmic flower

I could also find it.

How many secrets, discoveries are waiting,

They are calling to the wonderful distance!

Only a house -

One land,

She will be waiting for me.

A poem for children about a rocket (N. Migunova)

My friends and I in the yard
We were building a rocket.
We only have fuel,
Unfortunately, no.

We couldn't fly
To Mars and Venus.
But we have everything ahead of us.
I firmly believe in this!

Verse "Moon"

Night in the dark blue sky
Have you baked a ruddy pancake?
From the cosmic basket
Has an orange rolled in?

Or a golden saucer
Shine in the sky?..
Fantasize, at times,
So amusing in the moonlight!

Nursery rhyme about a comet

What a magnificent wonder!
Almost occupying half the world,
Mysterious, very beautiful
A comet hovers over the Earth.
And I want to think:

— Where did
come from?
And I want to cry when
It flies away without a trace.
And they tell us:

— This is ice!
And her tail is dust and water!
It doesn't matter, the Miracle is coming to us,
But the Miracle is always beautiful!
(Rimma Aldonina)

Comet

Spreading its fiery tail,
The comet rushes between the stars:
- Listen, constellations,
Latest news,
Wonderful news,
Heavenly news!
Rushing at wild speeds,
I was visiting the Sun.
I saw the Earth in the distance
And new satellites of the Earth.
I was flying away from the Earth,
Ships were flying behind me!
(G. Sapgir)

Poem about "Milky Way"

Black velvet of the sky
Embroidered with stars.
Light path
Runs across the sky.
From edge to edge
Spreads easily,
As if someone had spilled
Milk across the sky.
But no, of course, in the sky
No milk, no juice,
We see our own star system
from the side.
This is how we see the Galaxies
Native distant light -
Space for astronautics
For many thousands of years.

(Rimma Aldonina)

Astronomer

- Everything, - I said firmly at home, -
I will only be an astronomer!
Extraordinary
Universe around the Earth!

(Rimma Aldonina)

I want to become!

How tempting
Become an astronomer,
Closely familiar with the Universe!
It would not be bad at all:
Observe the orbit of Saturn,
Admire the constellation Lyra,
Detect black holes
And compose a treatise by all means -
“Study the depths of the Universe!”

(Yu. Sinitsyn)

Poems about the stars

What are stars?
If they ask you -
Answer boldly:
Hot gas.
And add,
Which, moreover, is always
Nuclear Reactor -
Every Star!

(Rimma Aldonina)

A poem about the solar system for schoolchildren

Meets the first solar storms
Elusive, little Mercury.
The second, behind him, Venus flies
With a heavy, dense atmosphere.
And the third, the carousel is spinning,
Our earthly cradle.

Fourth - Mars, rusty planet,
Red - orange most.
And then they rush, like a swarm of bees,
Asteroids in their orbit.
Fifth - Jupiter, very big
Visible well in the starry sky.

Sixth - Saturn, in chic rings,
Charming, under the rays of the sun.
Seventh - Uranus, lay down like a couch potato,
After all, his distant path is difficult.
Eighth - Neptune, the fourth gas giant
In a beautiful blue shirt dandy.

Pluto, Charon, ninth in the system,
Passing time in the darkness in a duet

(Author unknown)

Children's poem "Mercury"

Look! Do you know who this stranger is?
It is called the name of the god - the messenger.
The closest planet to the Sun -
Let's get acquainted - this is Mercury.
He likes to hide in the rays
Fastest of all and very strong
From the heat in solar ovens
The surface is hot for a long day.

From the wind of the Sun, only the atmosphere
And where the realm of the dark night,
0007 Under minus two hundred. By the way,
Looks like a twin of the Moon, a neighbor.

Familiar landscapes around,
Meteorites often fall
Even the composition of the soil is similar.

Venus

Very close to us, but still
From an incredible height
Venus is looking down at us.
This planet is named
In honor of the goddess of beauty.
Although a beautiful name
And a pleasant appearance -
The planetary spirit of Venus
Because of the dense atmosphere
Terrible, menacing and angry.
There are winds everywhere, clouds
And acid rains,
Hurricanes, and volcanoes,
Along the valleys and mounds
There the heat swirls in circles . ..
Very long days there.
And Venus is visible in the morning
A very bright star,
That hangs over the horizon
And looks at you and me.
(V. Berendeev)

Earth

There is one garden planet
In this cold space.
Only here the forests make noise,
Calling migratory birds,
Only on it alone bloom
Lilies of the valley in the green grass,
And dragonflies only here
They look into the river in surprise ...
Take care of your planet -
After all, there is no other similar one!
(Roman Sef)

Moon

Faithful companion, decoration of the night
Additional lighting.
Of course, we must confess:
It would be boring for the Earth without the Moon!
(V. Aldonina)

Mars

Fourth - Mars, red - orange,
Wanders in the sky along the ecliptic constellations.
Two, crumbs, satellites, discovered once,
Under the names: Phobos, Deimos - like retribution
Two times smaller than Venus
And the force of gravity is small
Atmospheres are similar in composition,
But it is very rarefied
And rarely completely transparent
From long dust storms and light clouds.
There are riverbeds long lost.
Volcanoes are sleeping, mountains have shot up high
Less heat from the Sun - and water
Frozen in the permafrost.
Twice: his path is longer, years.
But days count like on Earth.
(Author unknown)

Jupiter

The fifth in the name of the Universal Ruler
And the name of the Roman king of the gods is Jupiter.
Jupiter is very, very big
And sixty moons have already been discovered
Space swallows garbage well
Has three elite rings.
More massive at once than satellites, planets
Rotates quickly with colored clouds
And sometimes "super lightning" traces a trail
Possesses strong magnetic fields.
Built like a puff ball of gases
And a solid inner core.
Let's look through the telescope, we'll see right away,
Centenary whirlwinds, Red House.
And to the satellites discovered by Galileo:
Callisto, Io, Ganymede, Europe,
Space probes have flown for a long time,
Through space, paths have been laid.
brighter than all the stars, after Venus,
Jupiter in the sky looks like us.
I didn't get enough in size
And I didn't have an hour to become a star.

(Author unknown)

Saturn

Every planet has something different,
What makes it stand out the most.
You will certainly recognize Saturn by sight -
It is surrounded by a large ring.
It is not continuous, from different bands.
Scientists solved the problem this way:
Once upon a time, water froze there,
And Saturn's rings of snow and ice.
(Rimma Aldonina)

Neptune

Neptune in blue radiance – “sea deity”
Found, in calculated coordinates, - Halle.
The calculations of Adams and Le Verrier became a triumph -
of all whose labors the laws of heaven revealed.
Eighth from the Sun, thirty times farther from our Earth
Much denser, among giant planets.
Thirteen companions are known from his family,
He is in rings, dust particles, elegant.
Methane atmosphere, winds, clouds,
One of the satellites, in reverse motion,
With a surface covered with nitrogen only slightly
What gravity was enough for is clear.
(Author unknown)

Rocket

My friends and I in the yard
We were building a rocket.
We only have fuel,
Unfortunately, no.

We couldn't fly
To Mars and Venus.
But everything is ahead of us.
I firmly believe in this!
N. Migunova

A ship is flying

It is flying in space
A steel ship
Around the Earth.
And even though its windows are small,
Everything is visible in them
Like on the palm of your hand:
Steppe expanse,
Sea surf,
Or maybe
And us!
V. Orlov

Big Bear

Here Big Bear
Starry porridge stirs
Big ladle
In a big cauldron.

And
Ursa Minor glows dimly nearby.
Small dipper
Collects crumbs.

There is one star in the sky,
I won't say which one,
But every evening from the window
I look at her.

She shimmers so brightly!
And somewhere at sea
Probably a sailor now
It checks the path.

Rocket

Like a rainbow in the sky -
Silk pattern!
Hy and a rainbow in the sky,
Like a colored carpet!
And above the rainbow - a rocket
Soared to the skies.
Here is the same rocket
I will build myself.
And on the starry path
Fly on it,
I got the stars lykoshko
To my mother.
Grigore Vieru

Cosmonaut

Stars shine in the dark sky.
An astronaut flies in a rocket.
The day flies and the night flies
Vini looks at the ground.
He sees fields from above,
Mountains, rivers and seas
He sees the entire globe of the earth,
The globe of the earth is our home.
V. Stepanov

Cosmonautics Day

A Russian guy took off in a rocket,
He saw the whole earth from above.
Gagarin was the first in space...
How will you be?
Author: V. Orlov

The rocket reached the Luna station

With a palm, shielding from the light,
A boy is sitting.
Silence.
And suddenly magic:
- The rocket has reached the Luna station.
And looking up from the notebooks,
He said with dignity:
- Order. —
As if it should be so.
It must be so,
And not otherwise.
And there is no wonder,
What is it by us,
We started
Storming of unsolved planets.
Do not reproach him for his stinginess:
The boy is restrained because
That the continuation of discoveries
was entrusted to him by the epoch!
