Photographer David Jara Boguñá captured a rarely seen black seadevil anglerfish swimming near the surface off the coast of Tenerife, Spain last week. What makes this so odd is that these creatures are typically found at depths of 650 to 6,500 feet below the ocean’s surface, inhabiting the deep sea region known as the bathypelagic zone or “midnight zone”.

Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy captured this 400-megapixel photo of the Andromeda Galaxy using two 12-inch telescopes, with one of them being set up at a remote location in central Texas, far from light pollution. That one worked for about three months shooting around the phases of the Moon when skies were darkest, and when the galaxy was highest in the sky for maximum clarity.
