Milky Way in Cygnus
Milky Way. Optical image of the Milky Way in the constellation Cygnus, the swan. North is at top. The bright star at upper left is Deneb (Alpha Cygni). To its left is the North America nebula (NGC 7000), an emission nebula which glows red due to ionisation of the hydrogen gas it contains by radiation from hot stars. The three bright stars forming the wings of the swan are seen running from lower left to upper right. They are Gienah (Epsilon Cygni), Sahr (Gamma Cygni) and Delta Cygni. The Milky Way is the band of light crossing the sky formed from the millions of stars in the disc of our galaxy. This constellation is best seen in the summer in the northern hemisphere

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 breathtaking print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Milky Way in the constellation Cygnus, also known as the swan. With its northward orientation at the top, this optical image showcases a celestial masterpiece. At the upper left corner shines Deneb, a brilliant star known as Alpha Cygni. Adjacent to it lies the North America nebula (NGC 7000), an emission nebula that emanates a mesmerizing red glow due to hydrogen gas ionization caused by radiation from scorching stars. The wings of this cosmic swan are formed by three prominent stars stretching diagonally from lower left to upper right: Gienah (Epsilon Cygni), Sahr (Gamma Cygni), and Delta Cygni. The Milky Way itself graces our view as a luminous band traversing across the sky, composed of countless stars residing within our galaxy's disc. To fully appreciate this constellation's splendor, one must gaze upon it during summer nights in the northern hemisphere. This scene evokes wonder and curiosity about our place in this vast universe. Captured with precision and artistry by Science Photo Library, this print serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with astronomy and cosmology—a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic appreciation for nature's wonders above us.
