Astronomy competition for children offers rare books as prizes

25 August 2009

The European Space Agency (ESA) are celebrating IYA2009 and the Moon landing anniversary with a children's competition.  Up for grabs are copies of Tintin's Moon cartoons, signed by an ESA astronaut.

20 lucky youngsters will win a copy of the book if they can correctly answer the question "what is the next alien world ESA wants to explore?" Answers should be sent to apollokids@esa.int, and the winners will be chosen at random on 1 September.
