Astronomy Photographer of the Year is an annual competition that finds the most beautiful and breathtaking photographs of galaxies, the moon, the sun, planets and more. Images like these are an invaluable tool for demonstrating a love of astronomy. Each year the Royal Observatory Greenwich creates a short planetarium presentation to show some of the winning images from the competition. Immerse yourself in a colorful spectacle from mesmerizing Northern Lights to beautiful galaxies. We show a compilation of contributions from 2015-2017 and 2018. A production of the Royal Observatory Greenwich and the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
