Computer artwork of the constellation of Libra
Libra. Computer artwork of the constellation of Libra, the Scales or Balance, with a red line showing its shape in the sky. Grey areas represent the star clouds of the Milky Way. Libra is the seventh of the twelve constellations or signs of the Zodiac. It is a relatively inconspicuous constellation in the southern hemisphere. Libra was apparently a creation of Roman times; before that it was joined with Scorpius in a double constellation called Scorpius cum chelae, the Scorpion with Claws. Libra was known as the balance beam in Indic & Middle Eastern cultures before Roman times

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 print showcases a computer-generated artwork of the constellation of Libra, also known as the Scales or Balance. The intricate red line gracefully outlines its shape in the vast sky, while the grey areas beautifully represent the star clouds of our beloved Milky Way galaxy. As one of the twelve constellations or signs of the Zodiac, Libra holds a significant place in celestial lore. Although relatively inconspicuous in the southern hemisphere, Libra's origins can be traced back to Roman times. Interestingly, before this period, it was united with Scorpius to form a double constellation called Scorpius cum chelae - symbolizing a Scorpion with Claws. However, Indic and Middle Eastern cultures recognized Libra as a balance beam even before its association with Rome. The fusion of science and art is evident in this stunning piece that seamlessly merges astronomy and cosmology into an aesthetically pleasing composition. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to capture both scientific accuracy and artistic expression. This remarkable print from Science Photo Library serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with stars and their profound influence on our cultural heritage. It invites us to contemplate our place within this vast universe while appreciating the beauty that lies beyond our earthly realm.
