As we reach the solar maximum of the current solar cycle, the Northern and Southern Lights have been more active than ever, illuminating skies in unexpected places.
The Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, and aurora australis are caused by solar wind disturbances in Earth's magnetosphere, creating luminous, rippling effects in the sky.
This year's competition shows the endless variety of landscapes and astronomical phenomena, highlighting not just the lights, but the uniqueness of the locations as well.
Uroš Fink's capture from Istria, Croatia, depicts a brilliant aurora along with multiple celestial elements, describing it as a 'multi-course menu' of the night sky.
