Description
Image Details
The first anniversary image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveals star birth in unprecedented detail. Focusing on the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex (the nearest star-forming region to Earth) the image captures chaotic jets erupting from young stars, intersecting the surrounding interstellar gas and illuminating molecular hydrogen (depicted in red). Some stars cast shadows of circumstellar disks, the building blocks of future planetary systems. These young stars, similar in mass to the Sun or smaller, dominate the image. The large star S1 stands out in the lower half of the image, where it is carving out a glowing area with its stellar winds. The lighter coloured gas around S1 consists of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, common carbon-based molecules found throughout space.

C-type
Poster
Discover the timeless allure of our silver-based C-type prints. These archival quality masterpieces boast remarkable colour reproduction, capturing authenticity with every detail. Printed on 231 gsm Fuji Matt paper, they’re built to withstand the test of time. The anti-reflective properties ensure minimal glare, allowing the poster to shine without distractions.

Experience the vibrant beauty of our giclée fine art. Crafted with precision, our printing process makes use of 11 separate inks, resulting in vivid colours and sharp details. These exquisite prints are designed to be framed, preserving their flawless finish. We use 308 gsm Hahnemüle Photo Rag paper, known for its smooth texture and matte surface. Expect deep blacks, even colour reproduction and exceptional detail. The delicate cotton feel of the paper ensures smooth colour gradients.
