Optical photograph of the Milky Way
Optical photograph of part of the Milky Way in the constellation of the Southern Cross, showing the dark Coalsack nebula at centre. The coalsack is a region of dark dust which absorbs the light of the stars beyond. The small, bright, fuzzy object at upper left is Omega Centauri (NGC 5139), a massive globular cluster some 620 light years across

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 print showcases a mesmerizing optical photograph of the Milky Way, specifically a portion located in the constellation of the Southern Cross. At its center lies the enigmatic Coalsack nebula, an area filled with dark dust that absorbs the light emitted by stars beyond it. The Coalsack's mysterious presence adds an ethereal touch to this celestial masterpiece. Intriguingly positioned at the upper left corner is Omega Centauri (NGC 5139), a remarkable globular cluster spanning an astonishing distance of 620 light years. This massive cluster appears as a small yet radiant and fuzzy object against the backdrop of countless distant stars. The sheer beauty and complexity captured in this image serve as a testament to our ever-expanding knowledge of science, astronomy, galaxy formation, and cosmology. It offers us a glimpse into the vastness and intricacy of our own galactic home - the Milky Way. As we explore this awe-inspiring snapshot from Science Photo Library, we are reminded that there is still so much more to discover about our universe. From studying galactic centers like Omega Centauri to unraveling secrets hidden within dark nebulas such as Coalsack, humanity continues its quest for understanding and enlightenment in realms far beyond our reach.
