Star trails sweep over the Giant’s Causeway, dust clouds are moulded into colossal arrangements by cosmic radiation, a bright meteor passes over Indonesia’s smoke-spewing Mount Bromo - the 2014 Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition has received more outstanding pictures than ever before.
Supermoon - if you missed it this weekend, there are two more to come this summer.
The first of three "supermoons" this summer appeared on Saturday. Because of its closer proximity to the earth this month, the moon appeared 13.3 percent larger and will cast more reflected light during the evening. The next Supermoon will appear on Aug. 10, and a third will occur on Sept. 9.
