Ice volcano on Charon, artwork
Ice volcano erupting on Charon, artwork. Charon is the largest moon of the dwarf planet Pluto (red, centre right). Pluto and Charon are icy bodies that orbit within the Kuiper Belt on the edge of the Solar System, some 6 billion kilometres from the Sun (top right). Pluto is around 2300 kilometres across, and Charon about half that size. Ice volcanoes (also known as ice geysers), are found on icy bodies in the outer Solar System. They are eruptions of liquid and gas caused by the heating and melting of ices of nitrogen and methane

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 an ice volcano erupting on Charon, the largest moon of the dwarf planet Pluto. As we delve into the outer reaches of our Solar System, this mesmerizing image takes us 6 billion kilometers away from the Sun and immerses us in a frozen world within the Kuiper Belt. Pluto and Charon, both icy bodies, come to life in this illustration as they reveal their unique geological features. The immense size difference between them is apparent, with Pluto spanning approximately 2300 kilometers across while Charon measures about half that size. Ice volcanoes, also known as ice geysers, are phenomena found exclusively on frigid celestial bodies like those within the outer Solar System. This breathtaking eruption occurs due to intense heating and melting of nitrogen and methane ices beneath Charon's surface. The explosive display captured here reminds us of the dynamic nature hidden amidst these distant worlds. Debris scatters through space as liquid and gas burst forth into its vacuum surroundings. It serves as a testament to the incredible forces at play even in such remote corners of our cosmic neighborhood. As we gaze upon this stunning piece of planetary artistry by Science Photo Library, it sparks curiosity about what other wonders lie undiscovered beyond our familiar terrestrial realm.
