Boomerang Nebula
Boomerang Nebula, Hubble Space Telescope image. This is a bipolar reflection nebula, where gas and dust surrounding a star are shining by reflected light. The gas and dust in the nebula have been ejected by the star in two polar jets, moving in opposite directions, a process known as bipolar outflow. It is thought that the star at the centre of this nebula is an old red giant star. The nebula is around 2 light years in length. The Boomerang Nebula is 5000 light years from Earth, in the constellation Centaurus. This image was obtained in 2005 with Hubbles Advanced Camera for Surveys instrument. The results were published in January 2006

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 mesmerizing beauty of the Boomerang Nebula, as captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Located 5000 light years away from Earth in the constellation Centaurus, this celestial wonder is a bipolar reflection nebula. The gas and dust surrounding a central red giant star illuminate through reflected light, creating a stunning visual spectacle. The image reveals two polar jets emanating from the star in opposite directions, known as bipolar outflow. This process involves the ejection of gas and dust into space, shaping the nebula into its distinctive form. Stretching over an impressive length of approximately 2 light years, it serves as a testament to stellar evolution and astrophysical phenomena. Taken in 2005 using Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys instrument, this photograph offers insights into star birth and stellar formation within our vast universe. Its intricate details provide astronomers with valuable data to further unravel mysteries about our cosmic surroundings. As we marvel at this snapshot from deep space, let us appreciate both its scientific significance and aesthetic allure. The Boomerang Nebula reminds us of humanity's insatiable curiosity to explore beyond our own Milky Way galaxy while igniting our imagination with its ethereal charm.
