Key Takeaways:

• The 34 best images from Oct. 25 showcased stars, planetary nebulae, galaxies, and more.

• One of the images showed a deep sky pair – two objects in the night sky that were unrelated to each other but had been captured in one shot.

From a stunning star-studded night sky to an eerily dark lake, these 34 images evoke the beauty and magic of the cosmos and the natural world. These three images that showcased stars, planetary nebulae, galaxies, and more were amongst the three that won prizes in the Royal Observatory's Astronomy Photographer of the Year contest. One of the most impressive images was the deep sky pair in which two unrelated objects were captured in one shot. The last image was a tranquil dark lake, surrounded by towering mountains. These images bring us closer to exploring the beauty beyond our atmosphere and understanding the outer space better. It’s amazing to think how much can be seen within this spectacular universe, and I can’t wait to experience it first-hand! In the meantime, let’s gaze into the mesmerizing depths of space and appreciate its wonders.
