16. Thor's Helmet by Adam Blok, USA
The unique shape of the NGC23509 nebula gave it the name "Thor's Helmet", due to the fact it is similar in shape to the legendary helmet of the Norse god. The nebula is 11,000 light years away from us, and it's bubble shape was created due to materials getting pushed to the center of the planet by the winds constantly blowing.
17. The Night Sky Exploded by Chris Williams, England
A rare scene of a red glow caused by the venting of oxygen high up in the atmosphere. The glow was captured as it danced above the small fishing village of Eyrarbakki in South Iceland.
