“Lost Souls”. The zodiacal light seems to rise from the horizon like a pyramid with the brilliant point of Venus at its apex. Comprised of sunlight scattered and diffused by tiny grains of dust that drift between the planets, this pale feature marks out the plane of the Solar System. The stilness of the skies contrasts with the transience of the scence below, with its shifting human figures reflected in the temporary waters of Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. Runner up, People and Space category. (Photo by Julie Fletcher, Australia/The Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2014 Contest)
