A Swarm of Ancient Stars
This stellar swarm is M80 (NGC 6093), one of the densest of the 147 known globular star clusters in the Milky Way galaxy. Located about 28, 000 light-years from Earth, M80 contains hundreds of thousands of stars, all held together by their mutual gravitational attraction. Globular clusters are particularly useful for studying stellar evolution, since all of the stars in the cluster have the same age (about 15 billion years), but cover a range of stellar masses. Every star visible in this image is either more highly evolved than, or in a few rare cases more massive than, our own Sun. Especially obvious are the bright red giants, which are stars similar to the Sun in mass that are nearing the ends of their lives

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 awe-inspiring beauty of M80 (NGC 6093), a remarkable globular star cluster nestled within our Milky Way galaxy. With its dense concentration of stars, M80 is among the most tightly packed clusters out of the 147 known in our galactic neighborhood. Located an astonishing 28,000 light-years away from Earth, this celestial marvel boasts hundreds of thousands of stars that are bound together by their gravitational pull. Globular clusters like M80 offer scientists a unique opportunity to study stellar evolution due to their homogeneous age and diverse range of stellar masses. Each star captured in this image shares an approximate age of 15 billion years with one another but exhibits variations in size and mass compared to our own Sun. The photograph vividly portrays these differences, particularly highlighting the presence of vibrant red giants - massive stars nearing the end stages of their life cycles. Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), this mesmerizing snapshot not only serves as a testament to mankind's insatiable curiosity about the universe but also provides invaluable insights into how stars evolve over time. As we gaze upon this breathtaking display, we are reminded once again that there is so much more waiting to be discovered beyond our earthly realm.
