Astronomy Photographer of the Year Contest Winners

The winners of the Astronomy Photographer of the Year contest have been announced. There are many truly spectacular photos to admire. This one, by Nicholas Roemmelt, is my favourite.


The prestigious Insight Investment Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition has announced the winning photos of its 2020 contest. From galaxies and star-forming nebulae through to planets, aurorae, and annoying satellite trails, these photos remind us that Earth is but a peculiar speck in the vastness of space.

This is the 12th running of the photo contest, which is managed by Royal Observatory Greenwich in association with BBC Sky at Night Magazine and Insight Investment. For this year’s contest, judges had to pore over and shortlist 5,000 entries gathered from six continents.
