Calling all astro-photo geeks! (as well as those of us that just like to look). The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England is offering a brand new, free competition and exhibition for everyone who loves the night sky. It's open to anyone, from anywhere, including a special category for astro-photo buffs under the age of 16. There are some great prizes up for grabs and winning entries will be displayed in a special exhibition at the Royal Observatory. This competition is an International Year of Astronomy event, and from all the photos submitted, a giant, zoomable photo-collage of the Universe will be created. Even if you're not a photographer, anyone interested in astronomy can go to the gallery on Flickr and soak in the eye candy. The competition has been open for a while (and ends on July 19, 2009) and there are some awesome images taken by people from all around the world – some are absolutely breathtaking, like the image above taken by Dave Thompson.
