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.</span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: "nassim" , "lato" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: 23px;"><br /></span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: "nassim" , "lato" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: 23px;">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.</span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: "nassim" , "lato" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: 23px;"><br /></span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: "nassim" , "lato" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: 23px;">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.</span></span></div> <br /> <br /> <figure class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_98968" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial;

This multimillion-star band is really a small part of our galaxy that houses our solar system. Unfortunately, according to a recent study, 80% of the North American population, 60% of Europe and 42% of the African population can not see this spectacular scene for the same reason: pollution of the sky.</span></span></div> <div class="content-item" style="box-sizing: border-box;"> <div class="embedded-text" style="box-sizing: border-box;"> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative; text-align: center;"> <img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-99158" height="563" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" src="https://www.ibda3world.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ibda3world-IDA-750x563.jpg" srcset="https://www.ibda3world.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ibda3world-IDA-750x563.jpg 750w, https://www.ibda3world.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ibda3world-IDA-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.ibda3world.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ibda3world-IDA-80x60.jpg 80w, https://www.ibda3world.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Ibda3world-IDA.jpg 1024w" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 30px; max-width: 100%; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle;" width="750" /></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 23px;">This is how the International Dark Sky Association was established to combat light pollution on the planet. There are so-called International Dark Sky Parks (IDSPs), which are like private celestial sanctuaries whose environment is dark and unpolluted, making it a nocturnal paradise.

Again, any place can be nominated as an international dark sky park when there is no visible pollution, but of course this is not the easy task at all.</span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 23px;"><br /></span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 23px;">For this reason, it is unfortunate that in the Arab world, or even in the entire Middle East, there is no official international dark sky park except in Israel only in the Ramon Crater, a desert valley located in the Negev Desert, south of historic Palestine. In Egypt, for example, thousands of Matrouh, Qena, Toshka, Sohag, Al-Kharja, the Mediterranean Mountains and the Wadi Al-Whittan reserve in Fayoum are meant to enjoy spectacular views of the stars and our galaxy by sky; the amazing image we have seen At the beginning of the article is the sky in the desert of Fayoum in Egypt in fact (© Ibrahim al-Awadhi)!

The International Dark Sky Garden (IDSP) is any land whose skies enjoy an exceptional or distinctive quality of night stars and a naturally protected natural environment for entertainment, study, education, and cultural and environmental education. These lands may represent public or private property subject to the permanent or final consent of the owner or owner of the land to allow the public to enter them and take the necessary measures to maintain its status as such.</span></div> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; font-size: 23px; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-99146 aligncenter" height="460" src="https://www.ibda3world.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/IDA3.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 30px; max-width: 100%; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle;" width="700" /></span></span><div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative;"> </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative;"> <img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-99152 aligncenter" height="460" src="https://www.ibda3world.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/IDA9.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 30px; max-width: 100%; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle;" width="700" /></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 23px;">International Dark Sky Reserve IDSR - IDA International Dark Sky Reserve has the same specifications as the International Dark Sky Garden, but what makes it a protected, not a garden, is its presence within an urban community surrounding and protecting it. If you see the list of dark international gardens of the sky you will find them in places far away from the building in a way that protects them from light pollution, while the dark sky reserves fall within the urban space, which contains in its heart a site that meets the minimum of the dark sky while applying the surrounding corridors standards to maintain the darkness and quality Heavenly vision in the sanctuary. There are 11 dark sky protectors around the world, and there is only one dark sky reserve in Africa located in Namibia.</span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative;"> <img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-99144 aligncenter" height="460" src="https://www.ibda3world.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/IDA1.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 30px; max-width: 100%; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle;" width="700" /></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 23px;">Then we come to the IDA Dark Sky Sanctuary. The two former types share most of the features, except that it is located in a remote area far from urban gatherings, so there are no threats to the quality of night vision in its dark skies. The isolation of these sites is not allowed to be opened or made available to the public in general, which prevents their classification as an international dark sky park and makes it closer to a sanctuary or sanctuary that many people do not touch. For this reason, these sites are ideal for deep space observatories, and officially so far there are only 3 of them classified as dark international skies IDSS in New Zealand, USA and Chile.</span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative;"> <img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-99150 aligncenter" height="460" src="https://www.ibda3world.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/IDA7.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 30px; max-width: 100%; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle;" width="700" /></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 23px;"><b>[highlight] New Dark Sky Gardens [/ highlight]</b></span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 23px;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><b><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 23px;"></span></b></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 30px; position: relative; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: Nassim, Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 23px;"><b>As you can see, rating criteria for monitoring and observing stars as a park or a protected area may look like a dark dark sky that requires a lot of effort and laws, but in fact it is not impossible.
