These ethereal images show the beauty and drama of our universe. They are among the thousands of photos shortlisted for this year's Insight Investment Astronomy Photographer of the Year, a global competition organized by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, UK.
The galactic portal was taken by Polish photographer Marcin Zajac during a visit to the coastal city of Kiama in New South Wales, Australia. Zajac waited for the splendor of the Milky Way in a small cave and was surprised to see Jupiter between the constellations, which are seen in the photograph as the brightest point to the left of the central rock stack.

Above is Desert Magic by Stefan Liebermann from Germany with the Wadi Rum desert valley in Jordan, also known as the Valley of the Moon. The sandstone and granite rock formations on the other side, the vaulted mountains and gorges are strongly reminiscent of a Martian landscape.
The winners of the competition will be announced in an online ceremony on September 10th.
