Gibbous moon in the night sky
Gibbous Moon in the night sky. The moon passes through a complete set of phases, from new moon to new moon, once every 29.53 days (a synodic month). It is described as gibbous when more than half its disk is illuminated. The moon does not produce its own light, but it can be seen because it reflects the light of the sun. The dark areas, or seas, are the remains of ancient plains of lava. Craters visible are the result of meteorite impacts. The same side of the moon always faces the earth

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 showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a gibbous moon in the night sky. As our celestial neighbor, the moon undergoes a complete cycle of phases every 29.53 days, transitioning from new moon to new moon. During its gibbous phase, more than half of its disk is illuminated, casting an ethereal glow upon the darkness. Contrary to popular belief, the moon does not emit its own light; rather, it reflects sunlight that reaches its surface. In this image, we witness how this reflected light bathes the lunar landscape and unveils intricate details. The dark areas visible are remnants of ancient lava plains known as seas while craters dotting the surface are evidence of meteorite impacts throughout history. One fascinating fact about our satellite is that it always presents us with one side - hence aptly named "the near side" - as it orbits around Earth. This constant face-off between Earth and Moon creates a sense of familiarity and mystery simultaneously. As we gaze at this enchanting photograph captured by Science Photo Library, let us marvel at both the scientific wonder and artistic allure presented before us. It serves as a reminder that even in vast cosmic realms beyond our reach lies immense beauty waiting to be explored and appreciated for generations to come.
