HD 98800 planetary system, artwork
HD 98800 planetary system, artwork. The artwork is based on observations made in infrared with the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST). There are four stars in this system, paired off into two doublets or binaries. One set is in the background at upper right. The other pair (foreground) has a dust disc around it, from which planets might form. There are two bands in the disc, the inner one at the Sun-Mars distance, and the other at the Sun-Jupiter distance. HD 98800, which is some 10 million years old, is 150 light years from Earth, in the constellation of Hydra

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 artwork showcases the HD 98800 planetary system, a mesmerizing celestial spectacle captured by the Spitzer Space Telescope. With its infrared observations, this stunning illustration reveals a fascinating glimpse into the depths of our universe. At first glance, we are drawn to four stars that form two distinct doublets or binaries. The background pair gracefully adorns the upper right corner of the image while our attention is immediately captivated by the foreground duo enveloped in a swirling dust disc. It is within this ethereal haze that planets may take shape and come into existence. The protoplanetary disc surrounding these stars exhibits two prominent bands. The inner band mirrors the distance between Mars and our Sun, while an outer band corresponds to Jupiter's orbit around our own star. This remarkable configuration hints at potential planet formation within this young system. Located approximately 150 light years away from Earth in Hydra, HD 98800 has existed for about 10 million years. Its enigmatic presence serves as a testament to stellar evolution and offers invaluable insights into astrophysical phenomena such as star birth and binary systems. Through this artistic masterpiece, Science Photo Library invites us on an awe-inspiring journey through space - where beauty meets science and imagination intertwines with reality.
