Melting Pink1 – Tarantula Nebula – Mug

£19.00

The Tarantula Nebula is coloured with flowing brush strokes in shades of rose pink and mauve against a smoky sky. This cosmic masterpiece captures the ethereal beauty of the nebula, using colour and texture to convey its dynamic, swirling nature.

The smoky sky serves as a hauntingly beautiful backdrop, its deep tones providing a lovely contrast to the shimmering hues of the nebula. The painterly strokes sweep across the canvas with a sense of grace and movement, picking up the turbulent yet delicate ethereal web of particles.

Stars are glinting like precious gems against the smoky backdrop. Newly born from the nebula’s swirling matter, they shine with a brilliant light through the cloudy veils.

Narrative behind the art:
The region resembles a burrowing tarantula’s home, lined with its silk.

In addition to young stars, Webb reveals distant background galaxies, as well as the detailed structure and composition of the nebula’s gas and dust.

At only 161,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy, the Tarantula Nebula is the largest and brightest star-forming region in the Local Group, the galaxies nearest our Milky Way. It is home to the hottest, most massive stars known.

Within the stellar nursery clouds, points of light indicate embedded protostars, still gaining mass. While shorter wavelengths of light are absorbed or scattered by dust grains in the nebula, and therefore never reach Webb to be detected, longer mid-infrared wavelengths penetrate that dust, ultimately revealing a previously unseen cosmic environment.

Star-forming regions in our Milky Way galaxy are not producing stars at the same furious rate as the Tarantula Nebula, and have a different chemical composition. This makes the Tarantula the closest (i.e., easiest to see in detail) example of what was happening in the universe as it reached its brilliant high noon.
