Taken moments after a previous submission (Kapalua Sunset), this shows that the best colors in the sky are often after the Sun has disappeared.

This picture was taken early in the morning awaiting the sunrise on the horizon. Subtle and soft light painted colorful shapes on the sky and long exposure gave a special feeling to the scene.

After climbing over some dangerous rocks off the coast of Maui, I ended up in the perfect spot to capture the sunset. It was definitely worth it!

ESO's VLT reveals the Carina Nebula's hidden secrets.

Taken from a trip to Germany at around 7 PM. The wonderful colors of the sunset and the clouds covering the ground almost took away my breath. It was one of the longest sunsets i've seen so far, and one of the best for sure.

The second of three images of ESO's GigaGalaxy Zoom project is a new and wonderful 340 megapixel vista of the central parts of our galactic home, a 34 by 20-degree wide image that provides us with a view as experienced by amateur astronomers around the world. Taken by Stephane Guisard, an ESO engineer and world-renowned astrophotographer, from Cerro Paranal, home of ESO's Very Large Telescope, this image directly benefits from the quality of Paranal's sky, one of the best on the planet. The image shows the region spanning the sky from the constellation of Sagittarius (the Archer) to Scorpius (the Scorpion). The very colourful Rho Ophiuchi and Antares region features prominently to the right, as well as much darker areas, such as the Pipe and Snake Nebulae. The dusty lane of our Milky Way runs obliquely through the image, dotted with remarkable bright, reddish nebulae, such as the Lagoon and the Trifid Nebulae, as well as NGC 6357 and NGC 6334. This dark lane also hosts the very centre of our Galaxy, where a supermassive black hole is lurking.
