Astronomy Photographer of the Year at the National Maritime Museum
You won’t want to miss Astronomy Photographer of the Year. From glittering stars, shimmering galaxies, fiery suns, and silver moons, if you have a passion for the universe, head over to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich by July 2025 to witness the greatest in space photography in the free exhibition.
Astronomy Photographer of the Year is an annual competition that includes the planet’s best space photographers from around the globe competing to take the prestigious title before their spellbinding work is put on display.
Over 100 photographs are on show in Greenwich, displayed at their best on lightbox screens.
American photographer Ryan Imperio has been named the overall winner for his stunning work Distorted Shadows. It captures the moon’s surface during an Annular Eclipse in Texas on the 14th of October. It was created as a composite of 30 separate photos of the sun, capturing the ‘Baily’s beads,’ an optical illusion that occurs when sunlight shines through the valleys and craters on the moon.
“What an innovative way to map the Moon’s topography at the point of third contact during an annular solar eclipse,” competition judge Kerry-Ann Lecky Hepburn said. “This is an impressive dissection of the fleeting few seconds during the visibility of the Baily’s beads. This image left me captivated and amazed. It’s exceptional work deserving of high recognition. Congratulations!”
