Optical image of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1365
Active galaxy NGC 1365. True-colour optical image of the active barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365 in the constellation Fornax. This is an example of a Seyfert galaxy, which have a highly-energetic nucleus with an energy output comparable to that of quasars. The nucleus of this galaxy contains a powerful emitter of X-rays. This galaxy is a member of the Fornax Cluster of galaxies, a group which lies around 70 million light years away. NGC 1365 is one of the nearest of the Seyfert galaxies, most of which are extremely distant. This image was produced by digitally combining photographs taken by the UK Schmidt Telescope in blue and red light

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 print showcases the optical image of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1365, a mesmerizing active barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Fornax. Known for its highly-energetic nucleus, this Seyfert galaxy emits energy comparable to that of quasars. The powerful X-ray emitter within its nucleus adds to its enigmatic allure. Belonging to the Fornax Cluster of galaxies, which resides approximately 70 million light years away from us, NGC 1365 stands out as one of the closest known Seyfert galaxies. Most others are found at much greater distances in our vast universe. The true-colour composition presented here is a result of digitally combining photographs taken by the UK Schmidt Telescope in both blue and red light. This technique allows us to appreciate the intricate details and vibrant hues present within this galactic masterpiece. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our cosmos. Science continues to unravel secrets hidden within celestial bodies like NGC 1365, expanding our understanding of galactic evolution and cosmology itself. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancements in astronomy. It invites us into a world beyond our own while reminding us that there is still so much left unexplored in the depths of space.
