Astronomy Photography of the Year contest shows off our solar system's best angles.
Just as our nights are beginning to get longer, the National Maritime Museum in London has announced the winners of its annual Royal Observatory Greenwich's Insight Investment Astronomy Photography of the Year competition.
Out of thousands of submissions, photographer Brad Goldpaint is the overall winner (and winner of the People and Space category) for his image of the Milky Way galaxy shining bright above the red rock formations in Moab, Utah. To capture the image, Goldpaint patiently waited for the right moment as he described in his caption:
Aurorae Runner Up
Galaxies Winner
Skyscapes Highly Commended
Young Astronomy Photographer of the Year Winner

Did see one of the years exhibitions at the Royal Observatory in person, very cool, In fact the whole Greenwich Observatory is well worth a visit.
