Star trails that spread the sidewalk of the Giants, in Northern Ireland, clouds of dust in colossal shapes molded by cosmic radiation light years away and bright Meteor racing across the sky with the Mount Bromo in Indonesia, as background scenery. These are some of the photos competition finalists Astronomy Photographer of the Year from 2014.

The contest, which is organized by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, in partnership with the BBC Sky at Night Magazine, goes in the Sixth Edition and hit a record this year of photos submitted, with more than 2,500 enthusiasts between amateur and professional photographers from around the world to submit your images.

The photo finalists â€" more than 120 â€" include the splendor of aurora borealis above the clouds, photographed from the window of transatlantic flight between London and New York or the milky way reflected in the Snake River in Oxbow Bend, Grand Tenton National Park, in Wyoming, United States.

The variety of scenarios is not limited to the planet Earth. The photographers also captured views of the entire solar system, the milky way and other galaxies. These photos include an image taken during the day of Jupiter, moments before the astronomical alignment of the planet behind the Moon or the scorching heat of Crescent Nebula, glowing in a swirling red and blue.

The winners of the four contest categories and three special prizes will be announced on 17 September and the exhibition of images winners opens its doors to the public the next day at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, says the Daily Mail.

Here are some photos of finalists.
