According to one theory, the rhyme is a lesson in astronomy, Hey diddle diddle, the Cat (Leo - the Lion) and the Fiddle (Lyra - the Lyre), the Cow (Taurus - the Bull) jumped over the Moon (the Moon); the Little Dog (Canis Minor - the Lesser Dog) laughed to see such sport, and the Dish (Crater - a dish shaped constellation) ran after the Spoon (Ursa Major - the Big Dipper).

The phrase "the cow jumped over the moon" is from a nursery rhyme called "Hey Diddle Diddle." It is a whimsical and imaginative story that does not have a literal explanation. It is meant to entertain and engage children with its playful imagery.

∙ 13y agoThe cow, named Dorris, hated it's spots and asked another cow who didn't have spots how to get rid of them.
"The cure is on the highest crater of the moon." he said.
After thanking the unspotty cow for advice, he set about getting to the moon, but other cows told him this was nonsense, and that he would never find spot-cure on the moon. Now, Dorris was in a bit of a muddle, and in the end decided that it probably was nonsense, and didn't jump on to the moon. Instead, he jumped over the moon- just in case. Dorris the cow never did find anything to cure his spots, but he did have a marvellous time jumping over the moon. :)
