For this year’s Astronomy Photographer of the Year Award you can expect to see outstanding feats of astrophotography. The winners will be declared today, 15 September, and a free exhibition of the winning pictures will be displayed at the Royal Observatory Greenwich’s Astronomy Centre from 17 September.
The images are created by dozens of professional and amateur photographers competing in numerous categories including ‘Planets, Comets and Asteroids,’ ‘Stars and Nebulae,’ ‘Galaxies’ and ‘Young Astronomy Photographer of the Year’ for under-16s. This year the competition received a record number of over 4,500 entries from both passionate amateurs and skilled photographers from over 80 countries.
The photographic subject isn't just limited to our own
planet. Photographers have also captured pictures from across our solar system
and the universe. From visible storms across the face of Jupiter, to the
glowing heart of a supernova and the starburst galaxy of M82 based some 12
million light years away from our planet.
To celebrate this exhibition, we have found a selection of wonderful space inspired objects available at
Grays.
