| Summary: | First place winner in the 2023 IAU OAE Astrophotography Contest, category Still images of sunrise and sunset locations over the year: When the Sun Bounces, by Milos Obert. Earning first place in the category of Still images of sunrise and sunset location over the year is this image taken at Norway's North Cape. Owing to the latitude of this location, the Sun never truly sets during the summer months, from around April to August. This results in the unique spectacle of continuous daylight, known as a polar day. This captivating series of images, taken in 2022, showcases the Sun's relentless journey across the horizon every 30 minutes. At its lowest point in the sky, the Sun does not set, but appears to bounce off the horizon. The globe on the far right in the photo stands as a sentinel, marking the northernmost point of the European continental mainland. Credit: Milos Obert/IAU OAE (CC BY 4.0) ... |
