Last week was rich in auroras. The northern lights in this astrophoto envelops the small human figure, creating an incredible effect. Image yourself in her place. It seems you can watch it for hours without moving!

Cometary Globule 4 by Nik Nax

Michael Jäger’s Comet

Comets have indeed captivated human imagination for centuries. In this astrophoto, the spectacle of a bright comet with a prominent tail looks very mythical and magical in surrounding of stars.

First Quarter Moon After Sunset by Jonathan Panlaqui

This image of Moon with its unclear outlines and soft colors looks like a piece of art created by a talented painter, doesn’t it?

One more spectacle of Aurora from Nairn Beach – also looking like a painting of a peaceful, calm evening near the sea…

The Boogeyman Nebula by Jarrod Koh

The Boogeyman Nebula in the constellation Orion – a shadowy outline against the backdrop of the bloody-red star-filled space.

Damian Peach’s Eskimo Nebula

Eskimo Nebula – a planetary nebula located in the constellation Gemini. It resembles a face surrounded by a fur parka, resembling an Eskimo or Inuit person. A visually striking astronomical phenomenon!
