Space, the final frontier, and mankind’s constant fascination. These mesmerising images, from the Astronomy Photographer of the Year Competition, capture the night sky in ways that the naked eye never could and will leave you staring at the night sky wishing for an alien abduction.

Now in its fourth iteration, the annual Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition, which is run by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, has attracted a record number of entries from amateurs and professionals alike. Entries have now closed and the images can be viewed online in all their glory. Winners will be announced on 19 September 2012, and the winning images will be on display at the Royal Observatory the following day.
