I've probably heard of the annual astronomy contest Astronomy
Photographer of the Year; I've certainly heard it before. The competition began for the first time in 2009 as part of the International Year of Astronomy. Since its founding, it has included eight fascinating categories of photography such as "Aurora", "Galaxies", "Stars and Sams", and two special prizes for professionals and other sub- Age 16 years.
The competition is organized by the National Maritime Museum, which also runs the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, sponsored by the BBC's Sky at Night and Insight Investment. As the latter has sponsored and funded the competition on several levels, the competition is currently the Insight Astronomy Photographer of the Year and not the Astronomy Photographer of the Year as it was previously; a temporary change will last as long as the Insight Investment sponsorship continues.
In its ninth edition of 2017, the competition received nearly 4,000 entries from photographers from 91 countries. For the first time in the history of the competition, the judges receive amazing images of Uranus and asteroids! So you can expect the winning photos to be exceptional ... and they are already! The grand prize and the title of the 2017 astronomer were awarded to Russian photographer Artem Mironov for his image in the category of "stars and nebula" of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, a spectacular nebula about 400 light-years away. Artem took three consecutive nights of farm in Namibia.
