Hello there, Earth Explorers. It’s me, your space guide, Paxi! 
 
This month, ESA is launching a new set of satellites, called Celeste, to join me in space! These 11 satellites will all work together, testing new ways to help you humans find your way around Earth. 

When you travel somewhere you’ve never been, it is satellites like Celeste that help you navigate, telling you which direction to go! Now they could become better than ever… 

Very handy for someone new to Earth, like me! 

Now I need your help finding the best spots on the planet… if you could find directions to anywhere on Earth, where would you go? 

Theme: Exploring Earth 

Deadline: 31 March 2026 

Whether it’s somewhere amazing you’ve been before, a fascinating sight you have heard about or a place that’s never explored before, take me on a tour of your favourite spots! 

Artwork could be a drawing, a painting, model or even something digital… use your imagination!

Get creative and show us your imagination through art! 
We will select the best entries which will go into the Space Gallery and will receive a special prize from the European Space Agency.
