Australian
photographer Martin Pugh captured this image of the Whirlpool Galaxy
which combines fine detail in the spiral arms with the faint tails of
light that show its small companion galaxy being gradually torn apart by
the gravity of its giant neighbour. A closer look shows even more
distant galaxies visible in the background.
Australian
photographer Paul Haese captured a spectacular view of Venus passing in
front of the sun in the rare ‘transit’ in June this year. This is a
spectacular view of the active Sun, streaked and blotched with
filaments, sunspots and prominences. Venus, a world almost exactly the
same size as the Earth, seems dwarfed by the scale and power of our
local star.
Photographer
Tunç Tezel captured the earthly lights of towns and villages, spread
out beneath the heavenly glow of one arm of our own galaxy, the Milky
Way. Making the most of an August night, the photographer got this shot
after trekking out to the Uludag National Park near his hometown of
Bursa, Turkey.
American
photographer Robert Franke used narrowband filters to increase the
detail in this image of the ‘Witch’s Broom’ nebula – the remnants of an
ancient explosion in deep space. Part of the Veil Nebula, the ‘Witch’s
Broom’ is the glowing debris from a supernova explosion – the violent
death of a massive star. Although the supernova occurred several
thousand years ago, the gaseous debris is still expanding outwards,
producing this vast cloud-like structure.
American
photographer Michael A Rosinski’s image blends artificial light, swarms
of fireflies, and the long arcs of star trails overhead, captured using
long exposures.
Crowds
around the world gathered to watch the rare moment when Venus passed in
front of our sun earlier this year. Photographer Chris Warren captured
this image in Blackheath, London, in one shot using a ‘Hydrogen-Alpha’
filter, when the clouds briefly parted to allow a glimpse of the event.
British
astrophotographer Damian Peach captured this series of stills of the
surface of Mars – offering a complete picture of the hostile world
currently being explored by Nasa’s Curiosity rover. It shows the
gleaming north polar cap of frozen water and carbon dioxide, the red
equatorial deserts and the darker southern highlands. The photographer
has captured an amazing level of detail, including wispy clouds in the
thin Martian atmosphere.
