Stunning Photos of Space Capture Top Honors

Dhruv Arvind Paranjpye, a 14-year-old from India, won the "Young Astronomy Photography" category with this image of a solar eclipse over India in 2009. The light around the edge of the circle is the sun's atmosphere, or corona, only visible during an eclipse. To create the image, called "A Perfect Circle," Paranjpye used the dark clouds as a filter.
