The Spirograph Nebula

by John Charley aged 12

The space child's play thing,
Fascinating art of space.
Send light running for 0.2 light years across your face,
Then for 2000 light years to Earth.
You hide in the Milky Way,
Owned by Lepus.
A planetary nebula!

Up in Space

by Seamus Garner aged 11

 Up in space, like a ball

Planets fly about over all

Some chemicals cause planets to be blue

I wonder if there’s only a few

Some are red by getting rusty

I wonder if they’re very dusty?

Some look huge, some look small

And I know they’re very tall.

But overall they’re all like this

They’re all from an unknown dark abyss.
