A drawing by 12-year-old Nikola Katsarski from Pleven will fly into space. The author of the work is among the winners of the international contest My Favorite Place on Planet Earth organised by the European Space Agency.

The purpose of the competition is for children's works to remind Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen, who is currently on a six-month mission on the International Space Station, about our beautiful planet.

"In my drawing one can see the sunset, sheep, sunflowers and houses, which brings a feeling of warmth and peace," the young artist has told BNR.
