2025 ZWO Astronomy Photographer Shortlist in Our Outstanding Solar System – Huge
ZWO 2025 astronomical photographer, by Royal Observatory Greenwich and BBC Sky in Night Magazinejust released a shortlist of its extraordinary images (previously). Jurors selected 30 photos of over 5,580 entries submitted from around the world in the 17th edition that highlighted the incredible formations and phenomena of the solar system.
In the eastern new district of Xinxing County, Guangdong, China, Peng Fei Zhou captured the sun during the sun’s protrusion, and the plasma eruption stretched 310,000 miles into space. The image contains 20 stacked data sets to illuminate the entire process as if it was in slow motion.
In addition to distant nebula, comets and solar eclipses, photographers also capture cosmic dramas framed by ground landscapes. Benjamin Barakat chronicles the earth seems to be circling the circles in the sky as the earth circulates around a Nagarjuna tree in the hidaybu district of Yemen. Jim Hildreth recorded the luminous arc of the Milky Way as it swept over the Moonscape overlook in Wayne County, Utah.
Winners in 10 categories, including the championship, will be announced on September 11. The next day, the exhibition will open at the National Maritime Museum. Read all finalists carefully and plan your visit on the Royal Museum Greenwich website.
