The Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2013 competition is open - you can get the details here. You can also see galleries of the competition winners for previous years.

Royal Museums Greenwich

The exhibition of the 2012 winners is still on at the Royal Observatory until February 17, 2013. And there is a related planetarium show until the end of February 2013. The link above will also tell you more about this.

I've written about the results of this competition.

And I'll add 2012 when I have time. ;-)

I was in Greenwich recently and decided to revisit the photography exhibition while I was there. It finishes on the 17th of February.




Thomas Sullivan of the USA, aged 13, took this Highly Commended picture. In 2011 his father Jeffrey was the Winner in the People and Space category and his sister Nicole, then 15, was the Runner-up in the youth section.

The icefall photo makes me all shivery, not with the cold, but with its eerie beauty.
