Hotels-London.co.uk - Astonishing astronomy photography at the National Maritime Museum

Aug. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich is normally concerned primarily with matters at sea level, but next month it is set to welcome a display of stunning photographs depicting the various phenomena that occur within our solar system.

The winning entries in the Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition have already been announced, and the victors will enjoy seeing their work take pride of place in this new exhibition.

Categories include 'Our Solar System', 'Deep Space' and 'Young Space Photographer of the Year', and show marvels such as the Northern Lights, planet close-ups, nebula, stars, comets and the surface of the Moon.

There is plenty of time for you to pick your favourite, as the exhibition runs from September 9th until February 5th next year. A visit here would be perfect combined with a trip to the nearby Royal Observatory.

Hotels-London.co.uk (http://www.hotels-london.co.uk/) has plenty of hotels available in the area for anyone wishing to enjoy the delights of Greenwich Park. The Cumberland Hotel (http://www.hotels-london.co.uk/cumberland.hotel) in the West End is just one of the options available.
