Pick a space friend, color it, then press "Launch into space" — it starts floating instantly among the stars and stays as long as you keep the page open.

How it works
Choose one of six space friends, then paint inside the outline with the brush — colors never spill outside the lines, so it is great for young kids. "Base color" fills the whole body underneath what you already painted, and the eraser turns areas back to white. When you press "Launch into space", your creation lifts off into a starry galaxy with glowing nebulas and distant planets, and each one flies its own way: rockets blast forward with a fiery trail, UFOs hover and dart, astronauts tumble gently in zero gravity, aliens bob along, the ringed planet drifts in slow orbit and shooting stars streak across leaving sparkles. Everything floats freely across the whole galaxy — near and far, up and down — while real shooting stars flash by in the background. Your own creations never disappear while the page is open; the background is filled with recent drawings from other visitors around the world, which rotate over time. When you leave the page, your latest drawings are sent to the galaxy so other visitors can meet them too.
What is really out there
Astronaut suits are white for a practical reason: white reflects sunlight, and in orbit there is no atmosphere to soften it, so the sunlit side of a spacewalk is brutally hot while the shaded side is far below freezing. Rockets are often white or black for the same thermal reasons rather than for looks, and the orange on some launch vehicles is simply uncovered insulation foam that was left unpainted to save weight.
A shooting star is not a star at all. It is a grain of rock, often no bigger than a pea, burning up from friction as it enters the atmosphere at tens of kilometres per second. Planets in our own system are genuinely different colours — Mars rust red from iron oxide, Neptune deep blue from methane, Jupiter banded in cream and brown by its storms.
Colouring against a dark sky
Bright colours win here. Anything dark disappears into the starfield once you launch it.
Give the rocket a light body and a contrasting nose or fins. That two-part split is what makes a rocket look like a rocket.
Aliens have no correct colour at all. Green is traditional, but this is the one subject where tradition carries no weight.
Keep the astronaut's visor a different colour from the helmet. A visor that blends in loses the face entirely.
A planet with a ring or a band of colour reads better than a plain circle, and takes one extra stroke.
Once you launch it
Everything you send up drifts through a starry galaxy with glowing nebulas and distant planets, and each object moves differently. Rockets climb in a straight line, UFOs hover and dart sideways, shooting stars streak past quickly, planets rotate slowly in place, and the astronaut floats and tumbles the way a body does with nothing to push against.
The galaxy holds everything you have made for as long as the page is open, so it grows steadily as you colour. Nothing is uploaded or kept on a server, so save any picture you want before you close the tab.
Yes. While you are on the page, your creations float only in your own galaxy. When you leave the page, your latest drawings are uploaded and appear as background flyers in other visitors' galaxies. No name or personal information is attached — only the picture itself.
How long do background creations stay?
Background creations from other visitors rotate every few minutes so the galaxy always feels fresh. Your own creations are different: they never expire while the page stays open.
Is this safe for kids?
Yes — there is no free drawing, no text, no chat and no user names. Children can only color inside fixed space outlines, so nothing inappropriate can be created or shared.
Can I save my creation as an image?
Yes — press "Save picture" to download your colored creation as a PNG image, ready for printing or sharing.
What colors are the real planets?
Mars is rusty red-brown from iron oxide in its soil, Neptune is deep blue, Jupiter shows swirling bands of cream, orange and brown with its Great Red Spot, and Saturn is pale gold with rings made of ice and rock. Copy them for a realistic planet, or invent a world of your own.
Why do astronauts float in space?
It is not because gravity disappears — Earth's gravity is still strong at the space station. Astronauts float because they are in constant free fall: the station falls around the Earth while moving forward so fast that it keeps missing the ground. That endless falling feels like weightlessness, which is why your astronaut tumbles gently here.
