🚀 3… 2… 1… creativity takes off! 🎨

🛸 It’s Paxi here! 👽 Have you ever watched a rocket launch? I always wonder about the exciting adventure ahead. Where is it going? What is it carrying? And how does it reach space? 💫

If rockets make you curious too, I have some exciting news for you… 🥁 Drum roll, please! 🥁

🚀 Rockets are the theme of this month’s Cosmic Art Contest, and I can’t wait to see what you create! 🤩

✍️ Will you draw a rocket racing through space? Build your own model? Or invent a rocket unlike anything we’ve ever seen? 🤔

Let your imagination take you to space! ✨

🚀 3 spacewalks in just 15 days?! 🤯

That’s even more spacewalking than us aliens usually do, and if it doesn’t inspire a Cosmic Art Contest, I don’t know what will! 👽

On 1 September, ESA Astronaut, Sophie Adenot began her third spacewalk in just over 2 weeks, and this time, it was an all woman EVA! 👩‍🚀👩‍🚀

But spacewalks are just a small part of Sophie’s busy life in orbit! 🛰️

In the thousands of orbits around Earth, she’s done so much science 🔬, photography 📸, exercising 💪 and lots more!
But what would your day in Space look like? 🌍🚀

Did you know that space affects your life every single day?
🛰️ ESA works hard to make life on Earth better, from the satellites that watch our planet to missions looking deep into the universe. And because so many countries team up to make it happen, space really is a team effort! 🤝🌎

But that’s not even the best part, because you can be part of the team too! 👨‍🚀

👋 Hello there, space friends! 🌍✨

If Plato finds other Earth-y planets out there… what do you think they would look like? 🤔🪐

🌊 Would they have green oceans?
🪐 Rings like Saturn?
🌳 Giant red trees?

Finding worlds which are like Earth, or my home planet Ally-O, would be absolutely amazing! There are so many possibilities and that’s why my friend Plato needs your imagination. 🖌️🎨

Get inspired by Plato’s exciting adventure and create art inspired by faraway worlds just waiting to be discovered.
And the best part? The winning artwork will launch to space with Plato! 🚀
