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)

A2 (59.4 x 42cm) Poster Print

Discover the mysteries of the universe with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the captivating image "Astronomy & the X-ray and gamma ray spectrum" by Science Photo Library. This stunning visual representation showcases the electromagnetic spectrum, highlighting the enigmatic realms of X-rays and gamma rays. Ideal for educational settings, homes, or offices, these high-quality posters serve as a daily reminder of the wonders of astronomy and the secrets hidden within the cosmos. Bring the universe into your space and ignite your curiosity with this mesmerizing addition to your walls.

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). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")

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.
