he Eyes of the Universe: This 360-degree time-blended panorama, captured in Bulgaria, shows us what the night sky would look like if we could see two Milky Way arches side by side.

The La Palma Astroexperience: This ethereal image was shot on the Spanish island of La Palma, which is part of the Canaries. The photographer says: “La Palma and the Canary Islands are ideal for astrophotography due to the trade wind clouds that sit at around 1,000 metre (3,280 ft). Being above these clouds makes it clear enough for capturing images, provided there is no haze or high cirrus clouds.” Image Courtesy: Jakob Sahner/2023 Milky Way Photographer of the Year
