Young competition winner: The Four Planets and the Moon ©Alice Fock Hang (Reunion), aged 11. Photographing a planetary alignment requires rigour and patience but also a lot of luck. That evening, despite preparing everything for a week, the photographer encountered clouds. The magic started after sunset, where the moonset, Venus, Mercury, the star Antares, Jupiter and Saturn could be seen over the Indian Ocean. By looking at the sky map. Note also the presence of Alpha Centauri on the left of the image as well as our immense galaxy, the Milky Way. (Photo by Alice Fock Hang/2020 Astronomy Photographer of the Year)
