Stellar work: Our dazzling galaxy at night captured by photographer during 16-year mission around the world:
The twinkling stars that shine above our planet will cause most of us to gaze up in amazement every so often.
But for Iranian photographer and journalist Babak Tafreshi they are a daily obsession. Spending the last 16 years travelling the world, he has spent every day for his entire adult life capturing the sky at night.
From his native country to as far afield as Norway and Nepal, the 34-year-old has set up his camera to reveal our galaxy in all its splendour while also showing some of the most awesome sights of this world.
Mr Tafreshi, who won last year's Lennart Nilsson Award for best scientific photography, has visited all the continents including Antarctica in his quest.
