he Royal Observatory Greenwich has revealed some of the phenomenal images the annual competition received more than 5,000 entries from six continents. German photographer Stefan Liebermann was a runner-up in the Skyscapes category for a shot depicting the Milky Way from Wadi Rum, Jordan. As Steve Marsh, art editor at and one of the judges, put it: “The composition of the ground and sky is brilliantly put together and creates a scene almost devoid›of life, yet also bursting with it.” You can see the best shots at London’s National Maritime Museum.
