First picture drawn in space to appear in cosmonauts show in London

Sunrise sketch by Alexei Leonov, the first man to walk in space, is part of 'once-in-a-lifetime' Science Museum exhibition on Russian space programme

The first artwork created in space, a small yet remarkable view of a sunrise drawn as Alexei Leonov was hurtled around Earth on board a tiny Voskhod 2 spacecraft, is to leave Russia for the first time.

Leonov's coloured pencil drawing will be among 150 artefacts going on display at the Science Museum in London when it opens a major exhibition on cosmonauts later this month.
