July’s Best Astrophotos: Amazing Buck Full Moon, Northern Lights, Milky Way, And More

July 2024 is over, and it’s time for another collection of the best astrophotos of the month. This month was full of fascinating events in space, from the Buck full moon lighting up the night skies to the Northern lights surprising viewers from different parts of the world.

Except for these, astrophotographers captured lots of other celestial objects in all their glory: the Milky Way, one of the most prominent objects in summer; the Cygnus constellation, another popular target of the mid-summer; and so on.

To sum up July’s best cosmic views, we’ve rounded up the most visually striking photos from all our collections this month and added photos kindly sent to us by photographers via direct mail. You will definitely not remain indifferent to these incredible pictures! Scroll down and enjoy.

Charming Eagle Nebula With The Pillars Of Creation

Mysterious Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex

This image highlights the intricate structures and vibrant hues of one of the nearest and most dynamic star-forming regions – the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex. This complex is a mysterious area of space where stellar birth is ongoing.

Mid-summer Milky Way

The charming Mid-summer Milky Way stretches widely across the night sky, filled with countless stars, nebulae, and star clusters that light up the summer night.

Moon And Plain

Once shot in a lifetime: a plane gracefully soaring across a sky illuminated by the glowing full moon.

The neighbouring Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae are two of the most beautiful nebulae in the night sky in summer. This astrophoto perfectly highlights their rich textures and brilliant light-pink hues.

Amazing Comet 13/P Olbers

Comet 13/P Olbers, with its striking tail and glowing coma, presents a captivating view for both astronomers and astrophotographers. It is not one of the brightest objects, so it’s not as easy to see as some of the more famous comets. Lucky (and skilful!) you are, Ján Gajdoš!

Another stunning emission nebula is located in the Cygnus Constellation – Sharpless 101, also known as Sh2-101. This astrophoto provides a glimpse into one of the galaxy’s most captivating regions of star birth!

The Bubble Nebula NGC 7635 alongside the M52 Cluster create a great cosmic scene where stellar birth and star clusters come together.
