Computer art of Ganymede cut away to show interior
Interior of Ganymede. Computer artwork of the interior of Ganymede, a moon of the planet Jupiter. This moon, the largest in the Solar System, has a small metal core (silver) surrounded by a layer of rock (beige). Around this is a layer of water ice (blue). The surface, also water ice, is heavily marked by fault lines. There is also evidence of volcanic activity, as brighter areas on the surface appear to be new, clean ice covering the darker, older layers. Ganymede also has a relatively strong magnetic field, caused by convection currents in the molten parts of its metal core

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the intricate interior of Ganymede, one of Jupiter's mesmerizing moons. As the largest moon in our Solar System, Ganymede hides a fascinating secret within its core. The print reveals a cutaway view, exposing the hidden layers that make up this celestial body. At its heart lies a small metal core, shimmering with silver hues. Surrounding this metallic center is a layer of rock, painted in soothing beige tones. Beyond that lies an ethereal layer of water ice, beautifully depicted in shades of blue. This icy shell envelops the moon and adds to its enchanting allure. The surface of Ganymede tells stories etched by time and geological activity. Fault lines crisscross the frozen landscape, bearing witness to countless cosmic events throughout history. Brighter areas on the surface indicate recent volcanic eruptions where fresh layers of pristine ice have covered older ones. Intriguingly, Ganymede possesses an unexpectedly strong magnetic field generated by convection currents within its molten metal core. This discovery adds another layer to our understanding of this enigmatic moon's complex composition. Through this stunning piece of artistry from Science Photo Library, we are transported into the depths of Ganymede's inner world—a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about distant realms beyond our own planet Earth.
