The Station itself is sharp and detailed. The ISS is often photographed as it passes over the lunar disc (from our perspective), yet few can capture it like this. “To say this photographer has gone out of their way to create this spectacular image is an understatement. “Two cameras, two telescopes, a close eye on telemetry and a remote drive into the wilderness,” said judge Steve Marsh. McCarthy took this image from the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, USA, to find the perfect position. While the ISS is actually 1,000 times closer to Earth than the Moon, this perspective makes it seem like the ISS is in fact orbiting our natural satellite. One of our favorite astrophotographers, Andrew McCarthy, took the Runner-Up prize in the “People and Space” category with this incredible shot of the International Space Station in front of the Tycho Crater on the Moon. We’re very glad to receive this achievement as winners of the Young Competition.” Runner-Up in the ‘People and Space’ category: A Visit to Tycho © Andrew McCarthy

Yuri Beletsky, judge and professional astronomer described it as a “strikingly beautiful picture.” Xu and Wang said, “Thank you to the Greenwich judges.

Since M31 is frequently studied by both amateur and professional photographers, the discovery is surprising. Scientists are now investigating the giant wispy cloud of gas, and say it could be the largest such structure nearest to us in the Universe. The overall winners of the Astronomy Photographer of the Year are a trio of photographers, Marcel Drechsler, Xavier Strottner and Yann Sainty for their photograph ‘Andromeda, Unexpected.’ This image not only is an amazing look at the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) - the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way - but also includes an unexpected discovery: a huge arc of plasma next to the galaxy. Overall Winner for 2023 Astronomy Photographer of the Year is “Andromeda, Unexpected” © Marcel Drechsler, Xavier Strottner, Yann Sainty, which shows the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and an accompanying arc of plasma that has never been seen before.
