Computer-coloured view of jet in M87 active galaxy
Jet in M87 galaxy. Coloured visible-light image of the core of the active galaxy M87. The core is upper left of centre, and a long optical jet is seen pointing toward lower right. The jet is the result of spiralling high-speed electrons being emitted in a narrow beam from the core. As the electrons move through the intense magnetic field near the core, they emit photons by the process of synchrotron radiation. Close to the core, the emission is in the visible waveband, farther out the radiation shifts into radio wavelengths. This computer-coloured image is based on data gathered

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 stunning computer-coloured view captures the awe-inspiring jet in the M87 active galaxy. Located in the upper left of centre, the core of this galactic wonder emits a long optical jet that stretches towards the lower right. The mesmerizing sight is created by spiralling high-speed electrons being emitted from the core in a narrow beam. As these electrifying particles traverse through the intense magnetic field surrounding the core, they release photons through synchrotron radiation. Close to the core, this emission manifests in visible wavebands, while further out it transforms into radio wavelengths. The image you see before you is an exquisite representation based on meticulously gathered data by Science Photo Library. It beautifully showcases not only our advancements in technology but also unravels some of nature's most captivating cosmic phenomena. Delving into realms beyond our reach, this photograph invites us to ponder upon galaxies far away and marvel at their intricate workings. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about our universe and reaffirms our commitment to unraveling its mysteries. Let your imagination soar as you gaze upon this extraordinary print - an embodiment of scientific exploration and astronomical wonders that continue to captivate minds across generations.
