Reviews for Astronomy Photographer of the Year: Collection 12

“Spectacular views of the universe” - The Guardian “Insight Astronomy Photos of the year are stellar and stunning” - Irish Examiner “It’s always amazing to see how photographers push the boundaries each year in this competition and the quality of the work in this book is phenomenal. Astronomers love to be inspired by the images and everybody, including those with only a passing interest in the night sky, will be wowed by them. This is a must-have “coffee table book” that you will keep wanting to look through again and again.” - Mary McIntyre FRAS
