PacMan Nebula Premium Wooden Framed Poster With Museum-Quality Matte Paper
The Pacman Nebula, also known as NGC 281, is a striking emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia, approximately 9,200 light-years away from Earth. Its name derives from its resemblance to the iconic video game character Pac-Man, with the nebula's bright regions and darker lanes creating a playful visual reminiscent of the classic arcade game. The nebula is part of a larger star-forming region, showcasing the dynamic processes that occur in stellar nurseries.
Within the Pacman Nebula, intense star formation is taking place, driven by the energy emitted from young, hot stars. These stars emit ultraviolet radiation, which ionizes the surrounding hydrogen gas, causing it to glow with vivid colors. The nebula is particularly rich in young stellar objects, including the open cluster IC 1590, which is responsible for much of the ionization in the region. The interplay between the newly formed stars and the surrounding material creates complex structures, such as dense knots of gas and dust that are sites for future star formation.
The Pacman Nebula is not only visually captivating but also scientifically significant. Observations of this nebula provide valuable insights into the processes of star formation and the evolution of molecular clouds. By studying the different regions within the nebula, astronomers can learn about the lifecycle of stars and the conditions necessary for their formation. As a subject of ongoing research, the Pacman Nebula continues to be a focal point for astronomers looking to unravel the mysteries of cosmic evolution and the birth of stars.
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.

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.
