Three astrophotographers take the top prize for their incredible discovery of a massive plasma arc near Andromeda.
The winning photo showcases a surprising and incredible discovery: a vast plasma arc next to the famous Andromeda Galaxy .
“It’s an enormous honor for our team to receive this important award and we are grateful for all the support, friendship, and encouragement we have received along our journey,” says Dreschler, Strottner, and Sainty. “It encourages us to continue to pursue our passion for astrophotography, and of course, research with dedication.”
The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and is one of the most photographed deep-sky objects. The discovery of such a large object so close to a galaxy that has been frequently investigated and studied is especially surprising. The arc has an extension of about 1.5 x 0.45 degrees and is just 1.2 degrees from the center of M31. It may be the largest such object that is this near to Earth.
