The night sky offers countless subjects for photographers to discover, from the Moon and planets to distant galaxies and nebulae. The NSSC 2026 Astrophotography Challenge invites students to capture the beauty of the cosmos and showcase their photography skills through an original space-themed image.
Organized as part of the National Students' Space Challenge (NSSC) 2026, the event is an individual, fully online challenge open to both school and college students.
