Each night, the Milky Way decorates darkened skies around the globe with a streak of glimmering stars and pink-orange dust. Stunning in its own right, our galaxy is ever more dazzling in the images topping the 2025 Milky Way Photographer of the Year<\/a> contest.<\/p>\n

The annual competition, hosted by Capture the Atlas, received more than 6,000 submissions in its eighth year. Winning shots are each from a different location, including amid the moai<\/em> sculptures of Easter Island, atop Taiwan’s Hehuan Mountain, and Yemen’s remote Socotra Island. For the first time, there’s even a view of the Milky Way from aboard the International Space Station, which astronaut Don Pettit captured while Earth glitters below.<\/p>\n
