Eris. Computer artwork of the dwarf planet Eris, formerly known as 2003 UB313 or Xena. Eris is the largest dwarf planet. A dwarf planet is defined as an object large enough to be spherical due to its gravity, and with an independent orbit around the sun (ie. not a satellite of a planet). A true planet has to dominate its orbit around the Sun. Eris fails because it is one of many Kuiper Belt objects in the outer solar system. Pluto is composed of rock and ice

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 the enigmatic dwarf planet Eris, previously known as 2003 UB313 or Xena. With its intricate computer artwork, it offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the vastness of our solar system. Eris holds the distinction of being the largest dwarf planet, characterized by its spherical shape resulting from gravitational forces and an independent orbit around the Sun. While not classified as a true planet due to its location within the Kuiper Belt, Eris remains an intriguing celestial body in our cosmic neighborhood. Composed of rock and ice like its fellow Kuiper Belt objects, this sphere challenges our understanding of planetary science and cosmology. The image's stunning portrayal captures Eris' unique features with remarkable precision. Its spherical form dominates the frame against a backdrop of stars, emphasizing both its individuality and place within our solar system's grand tapestry. As we explore further into space, images like these remind us of humanity's insatiable curiosity about what lies beyond Earth. This awe-inspiring photograph is courtesy of Science Photo Library – a testament to their commitment to capturing scientific wonders through visual artistry. Whether you're an astronomy enthusiast or simply captivated by space exploration, this striking print invites you on a journey through time and space that will leave you pondering the mysteries that lie beyond our home planet.
