“[My daughter] Sophia still wants to fly to the moon. Since astronaut training is many years away, we decided to travel 2,600 miles from home to the place on Earth that feels similar to the moon’s surface. Her sister Clara joined her. Together they will explore many places in preparation for the final journey,” writes Your Shot photographer Juan Osorio. “This image was taken at Meteor Crater in Arizona, nearly a mile wide and deep enough to fit the Washington Monument. From the 1960s until today, NASA has used it to prepare astronauts for crater terrain.”

Your Shot photographer Juan Osorio's wife and daughter pose on a slide in Verona, New Jersey. "Playgrounds are full of surprises for a photographer," says Juan. "Pay attention to the colours, patterns and shapes. There is always something interesting to discover."

"My daughter wants to fly to the moon," writes Your Shot photographer Juan Osorio. "I wanted to create a surreal world with the balloons in which you have several angles of view; like having several cameras showing the landscape, and Sophia the astronaut. I was very excited about her changing the princess costume for an astronaut."

Visitors to "National Geographic Encounter: Ocean Odyssey" in New York City's Times Square experience the view inside a simulated "bait ball". "Encounter" takes visitors on a virtual tour of the Pacific Ocean.
