Globular cluster 47 Tucanae
47 Tucanae globular cluster. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image of the 47 Tucanae globular star cluster (NGC 104), one of the brightest clusters in the sky. It is located around 13, 400 light years away, in the constellation of Tucana. Globular clusters are old, roughly spherical systems containing hundreds of thousands of closely-packed stars. They formed early on in the history of the universe, around 12 billion years ago. Those within our galaxy lie in its outer spherical halo and contain some of its oldest stars

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.
