Universe of Stars – Stephans Quintet – StretchedCanvas

£74.00£330.00

This galaxy cluster is depicted in a mesmerizing sky of amber coloured stars. These starry shapes have warmth and suggest a sense of wonder for the distant past. The mirror array of the James Webb Space Telescope is suggested with outlines illuminated by the starlight, flickering in and out of view through the darkness.

The stars’ light punctuates the velvety darkness with gentle colours. Each one represents an actual star in the cosmos. As focus changes through the star field the artwork reveals its depth. Some stars appear closer while others seem to drift in the distant reaches of space, so that the viewer is on a journey exploring the vast expanse of the universe.

Among these amber stars, five galaxies stand out, each one emits a warm radiant light that contrasts beautifully with the surrounding stars, creating focal points that draw the eye.

The interplay of light and shadow in this artwork is very evident. This celestial scene, with its warm amber light and magical galaxies, invites the viewer to lose themselves in its beauty.

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:-
