Andromeda Galaxy Premium Wooden Framed Poster With Museum-Quality Matte Paper

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as M31, is a majestic spiral galaxy located approximately 2.537 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Andromeda. As the closest spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way, Andromeda has captured the attention of astronomers and stargazers alike for centuries. With a diameter of about 220,000 light-years, it is one of the largest galaxies in our local group, which includes the Milky Way, the Triangulum Galaxy, and several dwarf galaxies. Its distinct spiral arms, rich with young stars and interstellar gas, showcase the dynamic processes of star formation and galactic evolution.

The Andromeda Galaxy is not only remarkable for its size but also for its complex structure. It contains approximately one trillion stars, significantly more than the Milky Way, and features a prominent central bulge surrounded by a flat disk. The galaxy's spiral arms are dotted with star clusters and nebulae, highlighting ongoing star formation. Observations have revealed various stellar populations, including young, blue stars and older, red stars, each providing insights into different stages of stellar evolution. The presence of globular clusters, dense collections of ancient stars orbiting the galaxy, further enriches Andromeda's stellar tapestry.

An intriguing aspect of Andromeda is its impending collision with the Milky Way, projected to occur in about 4.5 billion years. This cosmic event will reshape both galaxies, likely resulting in a new, larger galaxy, possibly an elliptical one. As the galaxies approach, gravitational interactions will trigger new star formation as gas clouds collide and merge. Studying Andromeda and its eventual merger with our galaxy offers astronomers a unique opportunity to understand the dynamics of galaxy evolution and the fate of our own Milky Way. The Andromeda Galaxy remains a focal point for research and observation, providing invaluable knowledge about the complexities of the universe.

Our ready-to-hang premium wooden framed posters showcase meticulous craftsmanship. Milled from responsibly sourced oak, our natural frames have a classic appeal, while our black and white frames, hewn from ash, offer a contemporary touch. The natural pattern of the wood makes every frame distinct, adding to their innate beauty and character. The poster is made on our master's edition, archival museum-quality paper. It is off-white, uncoated, and the superior choice for art enthusiasts who appreciate world-class quality to enjoy artworks most luxuriously.

Features:

• Our Premium Wooden Framed Posters highlight the natural beauty of real wood grain. We have carefully selected oak and ash for their distinct grain visibility and pronounced pattern, framing your artwork with nature’s finest materials.
• Our frames come in 3 colors: natural wood, black, and white.
• With a 20mm (0.79”) thickness and width, the FSC- certified premium wooden frame has a wider profile compared to our classic frame of 14mm (0.55”). It will be a striking presence on your walls.
• Our Plexiglass material provides a flawless protective layer that allows your creativity to shine while safeguarding against damage. Available in a range of thicknesses, from 1.0-1.2 mm (0.04"-0.05") for small to medium sizes, and a sturdier 2.0-2.5 mm (0.08"-0.1") for larger dimensions, your art is safe in our frames.
• Our matte paper is uncoated and natural white (off-white). The 250 gsm/ 110lb paper is perfect for fine art, designed to last for years without losing its original beauty.
• With alkaline papermaking technology, this poster is acid-free, meaning the pH of the pulp that is used to form the paper is above 7 (neutral). The paper is also buffered with an alkaline reserve, such as calcium carbonate, to neutralize acid compounds absorbed from the atmosphere or formed through natural aging. This ensures that your poster will last many years without any yellowing or discoloration.
• Our poster is free from or low in OBA (optical brightener additives). This ensures that the natural white color of the paper remains consistent under different lighting conditions. In contrast, the color of papers that contain optical brighteners can shift depending on the light source. Additionally, the color of OBA-free paper remains more consistent over time, so you can enjoy the poster for years without any shifts.
• The poster is ready-to-hang as the poster is delivered within the frame. It is ready to be hung directly on the wall.
• We use FSC-certified paper and frame or equivalent certifications depending on regional availability. It’s better for the people and the planet.
• Each poster and frame is shipped in robust packaging, ensuring it arrives in pristine condition.
• Paper sizes may vary slightly by region. For the US and Canada, the measurement is in inches, while for the rest of the world, it is in centimeters.
• For indoor use.
• We print and ship on demand with no minimum orders required.
