Atlas Comet Premium Wooden Framed Poster With Museum-Quality Matte Paper

The ATLAS comet, officially designated C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS), is a notable celestial object that was first discovered in December 2019 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. Initially, astronomers anticipated that ATLAS could become one of the brightest comets visible from Earth in decades, especially as it approached perihelion—the point in its orbit where it is closest to the Sun—around May 2020.

As the comet neared the Sun, it exhibited significant changes, including a rapid increase in brightness that suggested it was breaking apart. This fragmentation raised questions about its structural integrity and composition. The anticipated spectacular display for skywatchers turned into a more subdued event, as the comet faded faster than expected after its perihelion passage.

Despite this, ATLAS provided valuable data for astronomers, contributing to the understanding of cometary behavior and the dynamics of icy bodies in our solar system. Observations of ATLAS also highlighted the complexities of predicting a comet’s brightness and its potential to produce spectacular visuals, showcasing the unpredictable nature of these celestial wanderers.

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.
