Venuss internal structure, artwork
Venuss internal structure. Computer artwork showing the core (grey), mantle (orange) and crust (light orange-yellow) of Venus. At the centre of Venus is a primarily solid iron core, which underlies a thick mantle made mainly of silicate minerals. On top of this is a very thin crust, which is only around 30 kilometres thick (compared to a maximum of around 70 kilometres for Earths crust). Venus also has a thick, acidic atmosphere, which traps the heat of the Sun (a runaway green house effect). This makes Venus the hottest planet in the solar system, with surface temperatures reaching over 400 degrees Celsius

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 artwork titled "Venus's Internal Structure" provides a fascinating glimpse into the geological makeup of our neighboring planet. Created by renowned artist David A. Hardy, this computer-generated print showcases the intricate layers that compose Venus. At its core lies a solid iron center, depicted in striking grey hues. Surrounding it is a thick mantle made up of silicate minerals, represented by vibrant shades of orange. Resting delicately on top is Venus's thin crust, portrayed in a light orange-yellow tone. However, what truly sets Venus apart is its hostile atmosphere – an integral part of this illustration. The planet's dense and acidic atmosphere acts as a greenhouse effect, trapping immense amounts of heat from the Sun. As a result, Venus holds the title for being the hottest planet within our solar system with surface temperatures soaring above 400 degrees Celsius. The intricacy and attention to detail in this artwork allow viewers to appreciate both the scientific knowledge and artistic skill behind it. From its concentric layers to its scorching conditions, "Venus's Internal Structure" offers us an opportunity to marvel at the wonders found beyond Earth's boundaries and gain insight into planetary science and physical geography alike.
