15 February 2010

IYA2009 celebrations in Norway included an astrophoto competition which attracted entries of professional calibre. The jury noted that the photographers had used a variety of techniques. Several images were striking works of art, while other were more traditional. Now the winning ten have been announced, and can be seen online.

A special mention goes to first place winner Tom Victor Kolkin, for his stunning photo of the Bubble Nebula.
