M101 with Supernova (HaGB) Print

Description

In 2023, a star in an outer spiral arm of M101, the Pinwheel Galaxy, went supernova. This beautiful image represents a little over 4 hours of exposure time, and is in the HaGB false color palette, meaning that Hydrogen Alpha emissions have been recorded and mapped to the red channel. This highlights emission regions such as nebulae and stellar nurseries. The exploding star can be clearly seen as a bright point of light in the leftmost spiral arm.

This poster has a partly glossy, partly matte finish and it’ll add a touch of sophistication to any room.

• 10 mil (0.25 mm) thick
