Orion nebula
Orion nebula. Coloured composite infrared and visible light image of the Orion nebula M42. This emission nebula, a cloud of gas and dust in which starbirth takes place, is found in the constellation Orion, some 1500 light years from Earth. Glowing clouds of ionised hydrogen and sulphur gases are green, and cool clouds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are orange and red. The gases are ionised by radiation from the four young Trapezium stars at the core (centre left). The small orange dots are embryonic stars, growing as they accumulate dust and gas. M42s neighbour, the M43 nebula, can also be seen (pale blue, top left). Infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope, visible light data from the Hubble Space Telescope

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 Orion Nebula, also known as M42. Located approximately 1500 light years away from Earth in the constellation Orion, this emission nebula serves as a celestial nursery where new stars are born within its gas and dust clouds. The composite image combines both infrared and visible light data to showcase the various elements present in this cosmic cloud. The vibrant green hues represent ionized hydrogen and sulphur gases that emit a captivating glow. Meanwhile, cool clouds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) create stunning shades of orange and red throughout the nebula. At the core of this stellar formation lies four young Trapezium stars whose radiation ionizes these gases, adding to their ethereal appearance. Amongst these radiant colors, small orange dots can be observed - embryonic stars in their early stages of development as they accumulate dust and gas around them. Additionally, one can spot M42's neighboring nebula, M43, depicted with pale blue tones at the top left corner. Thanks to data collected by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope for infrared imaging and Hubble Space Telescope for visible light imaging, we are granted an awe-inspiring glimpse into this astronomical wonder. This print is a testament to our ongoing exploration of space and our ever-growing understanding of star birth processes within our vast universe.
