The winning images of the Astronomy Photographer of the Year 14 competition have been announced by the Royal Observatory Greenwich.<\/p>\n

The top prize in the 2022 awards goes to Gerald Rhemann for his image \u2018Disconnection Event\u2019, which shows the tail of Comet Leonard<\/a> being carried away by the solar wind.<\/p>\n

Comet Leonard wowed observers and astrophotographers alike in December 2021, and photographer Rhemann took advantage of its bright appearance in the dark winter skies to capture the shot.<\/p>\n

Rhemann said of his shot: \u201cThis award is one of the highlights of my astrophotography work. All the effort that went into making this image a success was worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Melissa Brobby<\/a>, APY 14 judge and Social Media Officer for the Institute of Physics, said: \u201cWhen I first saw this image of Comet Leonard, I was blown away. This picture of a recent visitor to our Solar System has been captured so beautifully.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe stars in the background give the comet<\/a>\u2019s tail a magical appearance. I could stare at this image all day.\u201d<\/p>\n
