Starburst Galaxy M82 Hubble JPL NASA Spitzer space telescope Canvas art print

Description: Great images deserve to be printed on canvas. Here is the solution for all of us who love space images and are past the poster stage of life. This Archival quality image has been printed on Premier Art Canvas and Professional Wrapped around a 1.5" thick wooden stretcher frame. It is ready to hang on arrival. As this is a photograph taken in space - we want to see all of it! To create the Canvas Wrap, the image itself is mirrored on each of the four sides to give it the appearance of continually wrapping around the outside of the internal framework. This is a 24" x 30" x 1.5" print. The one-and-a-half-inch wooden frame gives it structure and depth. It is printed on canvas with a pearlescent surface that adds a dynamic element to this traditional piece of wall art. The canvas is 400 gsm with a water resistant finish and heavy, flexible weave. It meets the Archival Standards for pH and lightfastness. The image is custom made to order and takes a few days to produce. Once it is ready the image will be shipped FedEx to your home or office. The opportunity to immerse yourself in the Universe has never been easier! Return Policy - This is a custom item that is being handcrafted for your order. For that reason, we are unable to accept returns unless there is an issue with condition or description of the item. Starburst Galaxy M82 - hs-2006-14-a Plumes of glowing hydrogen blast from the central nucleus of M82. The pale, star-like objects are clusters of tens to hundreds of thousands of stars. The starburst galaxy is remarkable for its bright blue disk, webs of shredded clouds, and fiery-looking plumes of glowing hydrogen blasting out of its central regions. Throughout the galaxy's center, young stars are being born 10 times faster than they are inside our entire Milky Way Galaxy. The fierce galactic superwind generated from these stars compresses enough gas to make millions of more stars. To celebrate the Hubble Space Telescope's 16 years of success, the two space agencies involved in the project, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), are releasing this image of the magnificent starburst galaxy, Messier 82 (M82). This mosaic image is the sharpest wide-angle view ever obtained of M82. The galaxy is remarkable for its bright blue disk, webs of shredded clouds, and fiery-looking plumes of glowing hydrogen blasting out of its central regions. Throughout the galaxy's center, young stars are being born 10 times faster than they are inside our entire Milky Way Galaxy. The resulting huge concentration of young stars carved into the gas and dust at the galaxy's center. The fierce galactic superwind generated from these stars compresses enough gas to make millions of more stars. In M82, young stars are crammed into tiny but massive star clusters. These, in turn, congregate by the dozens to make the bright patches, or "starburst clumps," in the central parts of M82. The clusters in the clumps can only be distinguished in the sharp Hubble images. Most of the pale, white objects sprinkled around the body of M82 that look like fuzzy stars are actually individual star clusters about 20 light-years across and contain up to a million stars. The rapid rate of star formation in this galaxy eventually will be self-limiting. When star formation becomes too vigorous, it will consume or destroy the material needed to make more stars. The starburst then will subside, probably in a few tens of millions of years. Located 12 million light-years away, M82 appears high in the northern spring sky in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. It is also called the "Cigar Galaxy" because of the elliptical shape produced by the oblique tilt of its starry disk relative to our line of sight. The observation was made in March 2006, with the Advanced Camera for Surveys' Wide Field Channel. Astronomers assembled this six-image composite mosaic by combining exposures taken with four colored filters that capture starlight from visible and infrared wavelengths as well as the light from the glowing hydrogen filaments. Hubble was launched on April 24, 1990, aboard the space shuttle Discovery.
