Artwork of a future Sun ejecting planetary nebula
Future Sun. Artwork of a planetary nebula produced by the dying Sun in five thousand million years time, as seen from the Earth & Moon. Planetary nebulae are expanding, roughly symmetrical clouds of gas that are ejected by dying stars. The gas is illuminated and ionised by radiation from the star at its centre. Planetary nebulae are a normal evolutionary stage of stars with a mass of 1 to 6 solar masses. They occur when the star runs out of fuel to power its nuclear reactions. The stars core collapses under the intense gravitational pressure to form a dim white dwarf, whilst some or all of the surface layers are given off as a nebula

A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an awe-inspiring artwork of a future Sun ejecting a planetary nebula, offering us a glimpse into the distant future. Imagined from the perspective of Earth and its faithful companion, the Moon, this mesmerizing image portrays the celestial phenomenon that will unfold in five billion years. Planetary nebulae, like this one, are ethereal clouds of gas expelled by dying stars. As our Sun exhausts its nuclear fuel, it will undergo profound changes. The intense gravitational pressure will cause its core to collapse into a dim white dwarf while shedding off its outer layers as a luminous nebula. In this masterpiece of cosmic artistry, we witness the symmetrical expansion of gas illuminated and ionized by radiation emitted from the central star. This natural progression occurs when stars with masses ranging from one to six times that of our Sun run out of fuel for their nuclear reactions. The intricate details captured in this print serve as a reminder that even celestial bodies have their own life cycles. It invites contemplation on the vastness and beauty inherent in our universe's evolution. As we gaze upon this breathtaking portrayal, let us marvel at both the grandeur and fragility encapsulated within these astronomical events—a testament to nature's ceaseless creativity and perpetual motion.
