The year's best shots of the Milky way

[{ "selector": ".bjbbs-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 450px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

This year’s list includes images that were taken around the world, in 12 countries by 25 photographers of 14 different nationalities

[{ "selector": ".nfeqw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 379px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

The Milky way season ranges from February to October in the Northern Hemisphere and from January to November in the Southern Hemisphere.

[{ "selector": ".deuco-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 357px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

The best time to see and photograph the Milky Way is usually between May and June

[{ "selector": ".cgobp-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 383px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

the other requirement for seeing the Milky Way is a dark sky that is far away from light pollution.

[{ "selector": ".xbcps-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 400px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

It’s always recommended to get away from light-polluted areas like cities and to visit preferably areas at higher elevations

[{ "selector": ".isdnn-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 356px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

the Milky Way hasn’t been photographed before, such as the Tibet and Xinjiang images in this year’s edition.

[{ "selector": ".qxulx-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 371px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

You can see a selection of the winning images
