11. The Moon and Antelao by Marcel Gilia, Italy
A late afternoon at San Vito di Cadore in Italy, while the moon shines upon Mount Antelao.
12. Green and Purple Explosion by Ron Enegvo, Norway
This photographer lives in Norway and has seen the northern lights aplenty. But on January 21st, 2015, he witnesses the strongest colored northern lights he's ever seen - an explosion of purple and green. There, above Mount Senja, oxygen is responsible for the green light and nitrogen creates the purple one.
13. NBv5 Rosetta by Juan Ignesiu Himnez, Spain
The Rosetta nebula is 50-light-years thick and can be found at the edge of the unicorn start cluster. At the heart of the nebula are the youngest, hottest stars warming up the surrounding environment and releasing enormous amounts of X-ray radiation.
14. Star trail Above Lake Green by Dan Bear, USA
The star trail lights the night sky above Green Lake in California. Star trails attract many photographers who use a long exposure technique to capture them. While they supposedly represent the movement of stars in the sky, they are, in fact, exposing the motion of planet Earth on its axis.
15. The Reflected Night Sky by Xiahu Zahou, China
An enthused stargazer walks into the purple-lighted field of stars as they reflect upon the water in the Salar de Uyuni salt desert in Bolivia.
