17 spectacular images of space from Earth

A selection of shortlisted images from the Insight Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2015 contest revealing the beauty of our planet, its solar system, the galaxy and the wider universe

Staring into the night sky to ponder life’s imponderables is all the more enjoyable when the views are like these.

From searing hot loops of plasma radiating from the Sun’s edge to people watching rare red aurora in Canada, take a few moments to explore these incredible images of the world above and beyond us.
