Flaming Star Nebula Aluminum Print

The Flaming Star Nebula, also known as IC 405, is a striking emission nebula located in the constellation Auriga. It lies approximately 1,500 light-years away from Earth and is named for its vivid, flame-like appearance, which is enhanced by the intense radiation from a nearby hot star, AE Aurigae. This star is responsible for illuminating the surrounding gas and dust, creating a stunning display of bright, colorful regions interspersed with darker, opaque filaments.

IC 405 is particularly notable for its intricate structures, which are shaped by a combination of stellar winds and radiation pressure. The nebula showcases a mix of hydrogen gas, dust, and various other elements, contributing to its rich palette of colors. Photographs of the Flaming Star Nebula often reveal shades of red, blue, and green, resulting from the emission and scattering of light by the ionized gas and dust particles.

The Flaming Star Nebula is also an excellent example of a region where new stars are forming. The intense radiation from AE Aurigae not only illuminates the nebula but also drives the processes of star formation within it. As the nebula’s gas and dust collapse under gravity, new stars are born, contributing to the ongoing cycle of stellar evolution. This dynamic environment makes IC 405 a valuable target for astronomers studying the complexities of star formation and the interactions between young stars and their surroundings.

In addition to its scientific importance, the Flaming Star Nebula is a popular object for amateur astronomers and astrophotographers. Its striking appearance and relatively accessible location in the night sky make it a favorite for deep-sky observation, offering a breathtaking glimpse into the beauty and complexity of our universe.

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.
• It is printed and shipped on demand. No minimums are required.
