Galaxy NGC 1291
Spiral galaxy. Optical image of the spiral galaxy NGC 1291. This galaxy appears ring-shaped due to its circular arms. Its nucleus (white) is oval. The arms appear bluer as they comprise mainly hot young stars, while the nucleus contains older, redder stars and a large amount of dust. NGC 1291 lies in the constellation Eridanus

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 mesmerizing beauty of Galaxy NGC 1291, a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Eridanus. The optical image captures the unique ring-shaped appearance of this celestial wonder, which is formed by its circular arms gracefully swirling around its oval nucleus. The vibrant blue hue of the arms is a result of their composition primarily consisting of hot young stars. In contrast, the nucleus appears white and contains older, redder stars along with a significant amount of dust. This stark color contrast adds to the allure and complexity of NGC 1291.
