Time-exposure photo of polar star trails
Time-exposure of polar star trails. The Pole Star, Polaris, is the short bright trail just off centre. The circular formation of the star trails is a result of the Earths revolution in relation to the fixed stars. The different colours of the star trails results from the different intrinsic colours of the stars themselves, ranging from blue-white, through white and yellow, to orange. The photograph was taken from the Roque de los Muchachos observatory on La Palma in the Canary Islands

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 stunning time-exposure photo captures the mesmerizing beauty of polar star trails against a dark night sky. The focal point of this celestial masterpiece is the Pole Star, Polaris, which can be seen as a short bright trail just off center. The circular formation of these star trails is a direct result of Earth's revolution in relation to the fixed stars. What makes this photograph even more captivating are the different colors exhibited by each star trail. Ranging from blue-white and white to yellow and orange, these hues represent the intrinsic colors of the stars themselves. It's truly remarkable how such diversity exists within our vast universe. Taken from the Roque de los Muchachos observatory on La Palma in the Canary Islands, this image showcases both scientific excellence and artistic brilliance. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into space exploration and cosmology. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our small place in the grand scheme of things while being filled with wonder at what lies beyond our planet. This photograph serves as a reminder that there is so much more to discover about our universe and its countless mysteries waiting to be unraveled.
