Red Stardust – Stephans Quintet – StretchedCanvas

£74.00£330.00

This celestial scene is adorned with stars and galaxies with a ruby glow, their radiant light reaching through the haze and casting a mesmerizing red sheen across the cosmic expanse. The mirror array of the James Webb Space Telescope is suggested with fine dark outlines and lightening of colours to show the hexagonal segments.

At the forefront of this cosmic tableau is the iconic hexagonal array of the James Webb Space Telescope with mirrors arranged in their precise geometric pattern. Each hexagonal segment gleams with a subtle warmth of the celestial bodies it observes. Through the semi-transparent mirrors we can glimpse the five galaxies beyond amidst the smoky red haze.

Stars twinkle gently throughout the scene, their light captured from far away casting radiant points of colour.

These superior canvas wall art prints are of gorgeous quality and are extremely popular. Available in a range of sizes, each one is carefully custom made and hand finished.

38mm depth. Classic stretched premium, heavy weight cotton art canvas, expertly stretched onto specially profiled knotless pine stretchers. This canvas surface works brilliantly with colour images and also black and white, giving you sumptuous depth, vibrancy and detail.

Each corner fold is smooth and tight. The stretcher frame is milled with a curved profile which prevents unsightly impression marks and surface cracking. These prints are light weight but sturdy. We have little ones for brightening small spaces, through to generous statement pieces for larger walls. The colour depth and detail are outstanding. Cosmic Stuff canvas prints come with the 100+ year colour guarantee.

Narrative behind the art:
Sparkling clusters of millions of young stars and starburst regions of fresh star birth grace the image. Sweeping tails of gas, dust and stars are being pulled from several of the galaxies due to gravitational interactions. Most dramatically, Webb’s MIRI instrument captures huge shock waves as one of the galaxies, NGC 7318B, smashes through the cluster. MIRI sees a distinct difference in colour between the dust in the galaxies versus the shock waves between the interacting galaxies.

NGC 7320 resides 40 million light-years from Earth, while the other four galaxies (NGC 7317, NGC 7318A, NGC 7318B, and NGC 7319) are about 290 million light-years away.

This proximity provides astronomers a ringside seat for witnessing the merging of and interactions between galaxies that are so crucial to all of galaxy evolution. Rarely do scientists see in so much exquisite detail how interacting galaxies trigger star formation in each other, and how the gas in these galaxies is being disturbed. Stephan’s Quintet is a fantastic “laboratory” for studying these processes fundamental to all galaxies.

Close groups like this may have been more common in the early universe. 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.

Care instructions:
Cosmic Stuff canvas prints come with the 100+ year colour guarantee:-
To preserve your prints, and your guarantee – Handle with care!

Care instructions: Keep out of direct light, moisture, and excessive heat or cold. Gently dust with a very soft, dry, lint-free duster. Check front, sides and back for signs of damp and/or mould from time to time. Hang prints away from high traffic areas where they could be knocked and dislodged.
