Photographing the Milky Way is a journey through time, space, and imagination.

While we can only see a small part of the Milky Way with our own eyes, photography allows us to uncover its hidden beauty—showing details, colors, and patterns in the night sky that usually go unnoticed. But beyond the camera and technique, it’s the photographer’s creativity, patience, and sense of wonder that truly bring these images to life.

Now in its 8th edition, our Milky Way Photographer of the Year brings together 25 of the most stunning night sky images captured around the world—and beyond.

This year’s collection features a unique Milky Way image taken from space aboard the International Space Station, alongside captivating views from rarely photographed locations such as Chad, Northern Argentina, Socotra Island, Namibia, Australia, New Zealand, and more.

You’ll also see the Milky Way paired with celestial events like a comet, a meteor shower, and a lunar eclipse, showing just how dynamic and magical our night sky can be.

Get ready for an interstellar journey through deserts, mountains, islands, and skies unlike any you’ve seen before—always with the Milky Way as your guide.
