The James Webb Space Telescope has been doing a fab job at keeping us awe-inspired and star-struck with its infrared eye on the sky.
But it’s pretty cool to see astronomy pros and hobbyists alike share some of their incredible shots of the pretty things up top in the Astronomy Photographer of the Year awards.
Run by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, with the helping hands of Liberty Specialty Markets and BBC Sky at Night Magazine, the 2023 shortlists have been announced, and we’re ever more enthralled.
This year, over 4 000 pros and hobbyists from all over the world – 64 countries, to be exact – entered the competition, so you can only imagine the brain-wracking umming and ahhing of the judges right now.
Per DIY Photography, the competition is judged by a panel of seasoned pros from the realms of art and astronomy. Celebrating its fifteenth year, the big reveal for the competition’s nine categories, two special prizes, and the overall winner will be on Thursday, September 14, to be exhibited at the National Maritime Museum in London.
Enjoy the magnificence that surrounds us:
Just wow. All winners in my eyes.
