Dwarf planets
Dwarf planets. Three dwarf planets in a row showing their comparative sizes. From left to right: Ceres, Pluto, and Eris. Pluto, a Kuiper object, was demoted to the status of dwarf planet in 2006 when the International Astronomical Union (IAU) reviewed its status in light of the recently discovered Eris, also a Kuiper object. Eris was discovered in 2003 and is now the largest of the known dwarf planets. At the same time Pluto suffered its demotion, the object Ceres was promoted from asteroid to dwarf planet

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 three dwarf planets lined up in a row, allowing us to compare their sizes and appreciate the diversity within our solar system. From left to right, we have Ceres, Pluto, and Eris, each with its own intriguing story. Pluto's journey from being considered the ninth planet to a dwarf planet is well-known. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) made this decision after discovering Eris, which also resides in the Kuiper Belt alongside Pluto. This region of icy objects beyond Neptune has revealed many secrets about our cosmic neighborhood. Eris takes center stage as the largest known dwarf planet since its discovery in 2003. Its presence played a significant role in reevaluating Pluto's status within our planetary family. Meanwhile, Ceres experienced an opposite fate during this review process - it was promoted from an asteroid to a dwarf planet. Set against a striking black background that enhances their celestial beauty, these cut-out images capture the essence of astronomical wonderment. As we gaze upon these celestial bodies suspended on paper, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about space and our ongoing quest for knowledge. This stunning photograph not only highlights scientific achievements but also serves as a reminder that there is still so much more waiting to be discovered beyond what meets the eye.
