Glass Frame : Astronomy & the X-ray and gamma ray spectrum
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Astronomy & the X-ray and gamma ray spectrum
Astronomy & the X-ray and gamma ray spectrum. This part of the electromagnetic spectrum contains gamma rays (left) & X-rays (right). X-rays border on extreme ultraviolet (far right). They are absorbed by atoms in the atmosphere. Gamma rays can penetrate far enough to be detected by high- altitude balloons. High-energy (short wavelength) gamma rays create pulses of light (Cerenkov radiation, bottom left) that can be detected from the ground. X-rays & gamma rays can also be detected by instruments in spacecraft above the atmosphere. Sources of X-rays & gamma rays include the Sun (centre right), galactic clusters (upper centre) and supernova remnants (far right)

7"x5" Glass Mount
Wall mounted or free-standing, these black edged glass frames feature a smooth chamfered edge and a stylish black border (on back face of the glass). Manufactured from 4mm thick glass, Glass Mounts are a durable, professional way of displaying and protecting your prints. Your 7x5 print is slotted into the back of the frame so can easily be changed if needed.
Tempered Glass Mounts are ideal for wall display, plus the smaller sizes can also be used free-standing via an integral stand
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 17.7cm x 12.7cm (7" x 5")
Estimated Product Size is 20.3cm x 16.2cm (8" x 6.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating world of astronomy and the X-ray and gamma ray spectrum. The image beautifully illustrates the different components of this part of the electromagnetic spectrum, with gamma rays on the left and X-rays on the right. At the far right, X-rays border on extreme ultraviolet, a region where they are absorbed by atoms in our atmosphere. While X-rays can only be detected by instruments in spacecraft above Earth's atmosphere due to their absorption properties, gamma rays have enough penetrating power to be detected even from high-altitude balloons. In fact, high-energy gamma rays create pulses of light known as Cerenkov radiation (bottom left), which can be observed from ground-based detectors. The sources that emit these energetic forms of radiation are diverse and awe-inspiring. From our very own Sun at center-right to galactic clusters located upper-center in this image, and even supernova remnants at far right - all contribute to this mesmerizing display within our universe. This artwork not only highlights the beauty found within astrophysics but also emphasizes how crucial advanced astronomical detectors are for studying celestial objects emitting X-rays and gamma rays. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in space exploration through their lens, providing us with a glimpse into one of nature's most powerful phenomena: electromagnetic waves beyond what is visible to our naked eye.
