Astronomy Photographer of the Year is an annual competition featuring the world’s greatest space photography. Photographers from across the globe compete to take home the prestigious title.

In the fifteenth year of the Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition, there were over 4,000 entries from passionate amateur and dedicated professional photographers, submitted from 64 countries across the globe. The winning and shortlisted images are displayed in an exhibition at the National Maritime Museum, including awe-inspiring scenes of the Milky Way, vibrant star trails racing across the night sky, and amazing auroral activity. Astronomy Photographer of the Year is organised by the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, supported by Liberty Specialty Markets and in association with BBC Sky at Night Magazine.
