Antique Framed Print : Starfield in the constellation of Musca
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Starfield in the constellation of Musca
Starfield centred on the constellation of Musca, showing a densely populated area of our galaxy, the Milky Way. The two brightest stars at centre are alpha (centre) and beta (upper centre left) Muscae. The dark areas seen at top centre are part of the Coal Sack Nebula, a large dark nebula in the constellation of Crux; it is formed by a cloud of interstellar dust absorbing the radiation emitted by stars embedded in it. Another dark nebula (thin and elongated) is seen at lower centre

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a starfield in the constellation of Musca. The image showcases a densely populated area within our galaxy, the Milky Way, revealing countless stars scattered across the vast expanse of space. At the center, two prominent stars shine brightly - alpha and beta Muscae - their radiance illuminating the surrounding celestial landscape. As we gaze towards the top center of this cosmic masterpiece, we encounter dark areas that belong to the Coal Sack Nebula. This large dark nebula resides in the constellation of Crux and is formed by interstellar dust absorbing radiation emitted by embedded stars. Its presence adds an intriguing contrast to this stellar tapestry. Further enhancing this visual spectacle, another thin and elongated dark nebula can be observed at lower center, adding depth and mystery to an already awe-inspiring scene. This photograph not only showcases nature's artistic brilliance but also serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about our universe. It invites us to contemplate our place within this grand cosmic symphony while marveling at its sheer magnitude. Displayed proudly on any wall or surface, this stunning print from Science Photo Library offers a glimpse into distant realms beyond imagination – a true celebration of science, astronomy, and mankind's quest for knowledge.
