The Saudi Space Agency has launched the “Abaad” astrophotography platform to encourage the culture of astrophotography, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The platform will feature Arabic-language content in the field, empower enthusiasts to document celestial phenomena and establish a specialized visual archive.
The “Abaad” platform highlights Arab talent in astrophotography by providing a wide range of participation categories, such as deep space, the solar system, star trails, as well as space and heritage.
Such tracks aim to showcase photographers’ creative output on a regional scale, while further fostering their visibility and reinforcing their presence within the field of astrophotography.
The participation process includes capturing astronomical images and submitting them through the platform. The images will then be evaluated on a monthly basis.
A selection of unique works is showcased regularly, with the best works being featured across the agency’s official platforms.
This initiative reflects the Saudi Space Agency’s broader efforts to boost scientific awareness, support creative expression, and unleash new avenues for public engagement with space sciences in innovative ways.
