Hello, welcome to the very last Cosmic Photo Challenge of 2025, where we are rounding up; The best of the rest.

This is an exercise in sweeping up the shots which might not have qualified for any of this year’s challenges, but which you think are worth sharing, nonetheless.

So here, in no particular order, are a few images which, for one reason or another, caught my eye this year.

I wish you all the most prosperous, healthy and happy new year, but for now let’s see your hidden treasures…
