Premium Framed Print : Starfield in the constellation of Musca
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Starfield in the constellation of Musca
Starfield centred on the constellation of Musca, showing a densely populated area of our galaxy, the Milky Way. The two brightest stars at centre are alpha (centre) and beta (upper centre left) Muscae. The dark areas seen at top centre are part of the Coal Sack Nebula, a large dark nebula in the constellation of Crux; it is formed by a cloud of interstellar dust absorbing the radiation emitted by stars embedded in it. Another dark nebula (thin and elongated) is seen at lower centre

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 captures the mesmerizing beauty of a starfield in the constellation of Musca. The image showcases a densely populated area within our galaxy, the Milky Way, revealing countless stars scattered across the vast expanse of space. At the center, two prominent stars shine brightly - alpha and beta Muscae - their radiance illuminating the surrounding celestial landscape. As we gaze towards the top center of this cosmic masterpiece, we encounter dark areas that belong to the Coal Sack Nebula. This large dark nebula resides in the constellation of Crux and is formed by interstellar dust absorbing radiation emitted by embedded stars. Its presence adds an intriguing contrast to this stellar tapestry. Further enhancing this visual spectacle, another thin and elongated dark nebula can be observed at lower center, adding depth and mystery to an already awe-inspiring scene. This photograph not only showcases nature's artistic brilliance but also serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about our universe. It invites us to contemplate our place within this grand cosmic symphony while marveling at its sheer magnitude. Displayed proudly on any wall or surface, this stunning print from Science Photo Library offers a glimpse into distant realms beyond imagination – a true celebration of science, astronomy, and mankind's quest for knowledge.
