Insight Investment Astronomy Photographer of the Year is the largest international competition of its kind. Organised by the Royal Observatory Greenwich and sponsored by Insight Investment, the competition receives entries from photographers all around the world. It annually showcases the best space photography from a global community of astrophotographers. "It's not always easy to see the Northern Lights in the moonlight, but it's worth it because it gives softer and more balanced pictures. The Moon and the Northern Lights are two important sources of light on Svalbard, where the Sun stays below the horizon for four months, and it's pitch dark for two and a half months." Sophie Cordon, 2017
