Lion Nebula

Taken by the James Webb Space Telescope in near- and mid-infrared (NIRCam and MIRI). The object is planetary nebula NGC 2392, shaped by a hot white dwarf at its center. The bubble of gas is the dying star’s leftover shell. Astronomers expect it to disperse in about 10,000 years.

Webb’s job is to read the infrared universe: first galaxies, star birth, and how stars die. Planetary nebulae like NGC 2392 are where a Sun-like star returns its outer layers to the galaxy. The program was looking at the chemistry of that ejected gas and dust — which grains survive the white dwarf’s radiation, which don’t — and at the rings and shells that are still unexplained in nebulae like this.

Glossy metal print. 12 × 12 in. Dye-infused into aluminum, not paper under glass. A hidden float mount sits the panel ½ in off the wall. Made to order in the US and ships in the US.

You get the aluminum print itself, with the photograph dye-infused into the metal. The float mount is already on the back. Hang it from a screw or nail that fits the slot; no separate frame.

It ships in rigid packaging so the edges and face stay protected. Keep the wrap on until you hang it.

We ship metal prints in the United States only.

Each print is made to order in the US. Production usually takes a few days. Then it travels by ground. On the product page we say packed rigid, ships in 5-8 days from order. The exact ship cost shows at checkout. Free freight over $250.

If yours arrives damaged, or it is the wrong still, email studio@totalityprints.com with photos of the print and the box. We will reprint it or refund you. We do not take returns on a print that arrived as ordered.
