  • A colorful painted piece with the handwritten title "The Nature of Space" across the center in multicolored letters. A rainbow arcs across the top left corner. In the center is a large purple-and-black splattered planet with spiky edges. In the top right is a small blue-and-green Earth, and in the bottom right is a brown-and-gold ringed planet. Smaller red and blue circular shapes are scattered in the bottom left and bottom center. The background is white. by Aydenn Trillo

  • A night sky colored in dark pencil shading fills most of the page, with cut-out white patches showing an orange-and-yellow sun, a blue moon, and four white daisies with yellow centers growing on green grass. In the center, a yellow star trails a blue, green, and purple streak down to a blue-and-green Earth in the bottom right corner, with green leaf shapes and a cross-hatched patch nearby. by Iris Trujillo

  • An astronaut in a pencil-sketched suit with a black-filled helmet visor floats in the center of the page, surrounded by red, blue, and dark pink flowers. Above is a pink-and-purple ringed planet, and a purple-and-blue nebula band stretches across the page toward a yellow star in the top right corner. A grey cratered moon floats on the right side, and an orange-and-red planet is in the bottom left corner, with a small blue circle below it. In the bottom right corner is a large blue-and-green Earth. by Ebony Valdez

  • An abstract drawing made mostly of dark, jagged black shading. A streak of orange and red is drawn across the top like a comet, next to a small grey cratered moon on a light blue background. A winding white and light purple path runs down the center of the page like a canyon or trail, bordered by the dark shading on both sides, with a light blue curved shape in the lower right corner. The word "title" is handwritten in the bottom left corner. The background is colored in dark black and navy. by Andres Yanez

  • An astronaut in a white suit with a blue-tinted visor reaches up with both arms toward two large planets: a tan-and-brown striped planet resembling Jupiter in the center, and a smaller brown ringed planet in the top left. In the top right corner is a blue-and-green Earth, and below it on the left is another brown striped planet. The astronaut stands on a grey cratered moon, next to a red-and-white rocket with blue window portholes.
