Dying Earth
Dying Earth. Computer artwork of the future Sun heating a scorched Earth. In 5-6 billion years the Sun will have exhausted the hydrogen fuel in its core, and it will begin burning hydrogen in a shell surrounding the core. This will cause the Sun to expand. Eventually, all the Earths air and water will be lost to space, and the expanding Sun will engulf the inner planets, and possibly Earth. If the Earth survives this stage of the death of the Sun, it will freeze as the Sun collapses into a white dwarf star

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 print titled "Dying Earth" takes us on a journey into the distant future, offering a haunting glimpse of our planet's ultimate fate. Through mesmerizing computer artwork, we witness the colossal transformation that awaits our Sun in approximately 5-6 billion years. As the hydrogen fuel within its core depletes, the Sun will ignite a shell around it, causing an expansion so immense that it engulfs everything in its path. In this image, we see Earth scorched and desolate as all air and water are mercilessly stripped away by space itself. The once vibrant blue planet is reduced to a barren wasteland under the relentless heat of our swollen star. The artist's illustration masterfully captures both the awe-inspiring beauty and chilling finality of this cosmic event. The red giant Sun dominates the frame while an enlarged tree stands as a poignant reminder of life's fragility against such stellar forces. "Dying Earth" serves as a powerful testament to humanity's insignificance in comparison to the vastness of time and space. It evokes contemplation about our place in the universe and prompts reflection on how we can protect and cherish our precious home while there is still time. Through this thought-provoking artwork, Science Photo Library invites us to ponder not only Earth's destiny but also our own role in shaping it – reminding us that even amidst uncertainty lies an opportunity for growth, adaptation, and preservation.
