The Golden Ring
The overall winner for Astronomy Photographer of the Year in 2021 was Shuchang Dong for the photographer on the annual solar eclipse taken in the Ali region of Tibet on June 21, 2020.
“We were waiting with anxious minds but we were lucky. Within a minute of the annular eclipse, the sunshine penetrated through the clouds and afterwards the Sun was sucked into the thick clouds. We were so lucky here!” Dong told Royal Museums Greenwich.
