Supermoon Eclipse Boras, Sweden
On 28 September 2015, a supermoon coincided with a lunar eclipse, resulting in this photograph of the moon in a striking shade of red. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly behind the Earth and is cloaked by our planet’s shadow. The only visible light is refracted through it, creating the unusual colour. Due to its red hue, a lunar eclipse is often referred to as a ‘blood moon’

Polaris over Mount Hood, Oregon, US
The north star, Polaris, lines up almost perfectly with Mount Hood and reflects symmetrically in the beautifully serene Trillium lake. The photographer, Garrett Suhrie, used a 20-minute exposure to create the star trails charting the rotation of the Earth, that add further symmetry to the image

Aurora over Laksvatn Fjord, Laksvatn, Norway
The aurora borealis dances in the skies over the town of Laksvatn, with the Milky Way to the left. The image is a single shot with no compositing, only post-processing to bring out the aurora, and some colour corrections. The photographer Matt Walford said: ‘I love the way the northern lights look like they are just wistfully dancing over the fjord, framed by the mountains on either side’

Monument Stars, Monument Valley, US
Despite being taken during the lunar eclipse of 2015, Albert Dros actually didn’t shoot the moon but took the opportunity to capture the amazing dark sky. Coming from a country (the Netherlands) with so much light pollution, this marked the first time the photographer had seen the Milky Way so clearly. The red glow in the sky is from the extraordinary atmosphere during the lunar eclipse – an experience Dros said he would never forget. This shot is a panorama comprised of three vertical shots
