Rho Ophiuchi nebulae
Rho Ophiuchi nebulae. Optical image of nebulosity around the stars Rho Ophiuchi and Antares (Alpha Scorpii). North is at top. Rho Ophiuchi (upper left) is surrounded by a blue reflection nebula. Antares (centre left) is surrounded by orange nebulosity. Dark lanes of dust are seen at upper left, which obscure the light from the bright starfields behind them. The Milky Way passes through this region, which is on the boundary between the constellations Scorpius, the scorpion, and Ophiuchus, the snake holder

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 mesmerizing beauty of the Rho Ophiuchi nebulae, a celestial masterpiece in our vast universe. The image showcases the nebulosity surrounding two prominent stars, Rho Ophiuchi and Antares, each surrounded by their own unique hues. In the upper left corner, we are greeted by a vibrant blue reflection nebula enveloping Rho Ophiuchi. This ethereal glow is created as starlight reflects off tiny dust particles within the nebula, creating a stunning visual spectacle. Meanwhile, at the center left of the frame lies Antares, embraced by an enchanting orange nebulosity that adds to its celestial allure. As we explore further into this cosmic wonderland, dark lanes of dust become apparent in the upper left portion of the photograph. These mysterious obscurities obscure our view of bright starfields lurking behind them but add an element of intrigue and depth to this already captivating scene. Notably, this region marks where Scorpius and Ophiuchus constellations meet on their boundary. The Milky Way gracefully traverses through this area, enhancing its significance in both astronomical and cosmological studies. This awe-inspiring image serves as a reminder of how intricately intertwined space and time are while showcasing nature's ability to create stellar formations and witness star birth firsthand. It invites us to marvel at these extraordinary phenomena that continue to shape our understanding of evolution beyond Earth's boundaries.
