Butterfly Nebula Aluminum Print

The Butterfly Nebula, also known as NGC 6302, is a striking example of a planetary nebula located in the constellation Scorpius. This nebula is characterized by its unique butterfly-like shape, which is created by the interaction of its central star's powerful stellar wind with the surrounding ejected material. The nebula is a complex and dynamic structure with two prominent lobes of gas that appear to spread out symmetrically from the central star, resembling the wings of a butterfly. The central star, which is in the late stages of its evolution, is a hot, massive object that emits intense radiation, causing the surrounding gas to ionize and glow brightly in various colors.

Spanning about 2.5 light-years across and located approximately 4,000 light-years from Earth, the Butterfly Nebula is one of the most detailed and well-studied planetary nebulae. The nebula's intricate structure is visible in both visible and infrared wavelengths, revealing complex features such as dense clumps of gas, intricate filaments, and a central torus of material. The vivid colors in images of the Butterfly Nebula are due to the presence of various ionized elements, including hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen, each emitting light at different wavelengths. The nebula provides valuable insights into the late stages of stellar evolution and the processes that shape the intricate structures of planetary nebulae.

Visually striking, polished, and built to last - our stylish aluminum prints are designed with superior quality and a clean finish.

Features:

• Crafted from two white aluminum layers and a black polyethylene compound core in between, our aluminum DIBOND® is lightweight yet strong, making it durable and perfect for larger art pieces. Since the aluminum DIBOND® panel is coated in white, it ensures that the white and bright areas have a faint silky gloss, which is stunning to look at.
• The colors on this print are highly saturated, even in large monochrome areas, ensuring the artwork pops off the surface.
• The print itself is matte and glare-free, giving it a timeless and classic look that enhances the art in a subtle and understated way.
• Our aluminum print comes in a thickness of approximately 3mm /0.12", providing a sturdy and rigid base.
• The direct printing technology ensures that the image is printed straight onto the surface of the aluminum DIBOND® panel, resulting in a vivid and accurate reproduction. You can be sure that the tonal gradation will be on point.
• We've also included a hanging kit, which may vary depending on the country of fulfillment.
• 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.
