The collection features 25 photos of the Milky Way taken from 16 countries around the world. The final selection was chosen from over 3,000 applicants. Many of the photos were taken in unique and remote locations where the Milky Way had not been photographed before. Examples include Socotra, a remote island in the Indian Ocean, and Madagascar, where the photographer had to photograph with armed guards. Other locations include a remote area in Spain called Serrania de Cuenca, as well as Namibia and New Zealand. The photos showcase stunning landscapes such as deserts, mountains, glaciers, and beaches, with the Milky Way shining in the sky. Some notable photos include “The bottle tree portal” by Benjamin Barakat, “Cafayate star factory” by Gonzalo Javier Santile, “The Cactus Valley” by Pablo Ruiz Gracía, “The Eyes of the Universe” by Mihail Minkov, “Alien Forest” by Marcin Zajac, “Night under the Baobab Trees” by Steffi Lieberman, “The Scenery I Wanted to See” by Mitsuhiro Okabe, “Winter’s Airglow” by Larryn Grae, “Wind River Nights” by Brandt Ryder, “The Night Train” by Alexander Forst, “The La Palma Astroexperience” by Jakob Sahner, and “Shapes of Nature” by Uroš Fink.
