Framed Print of Colliding galaxies
Colliding galaxies. Supercomputer simulation showing the gas content of two colliding spiral galaxies. Temperature is represented by colour, blue (coolest) to red (hottest). Brightness represents density. Two galaxies approach and merge (top pair), then separate (second pair), before merging into a large elliptical galaxy (bottom). During the merger, gravity drives gas into the centre, causing a burst of new star formation. The incoming gas also feeds a supermassive black hole which is thought to power a quasar. The black hole increases in mass until it releases enough energy to heat the gas and expel it into space. As the new galaxy is gas- poor, little new star formation occurs. Simulation created in 2005 at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Germany. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © TIZIANA DI MATTEO/VOLKER SPRINGEL/LARS HERNQUIST/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

Wood effect frame, card mounted, 10x8 fade resistant photo print. Overall outside dimensions 14x12 inches (36x31cm). Environmentally and ozone friendly, 40mm wide x 15mm Polycore® moulding has the look of real wood, is durable and light and easy to hang. Biodegradable and made with non-chlorinated gases (no toxic fumes) it is efficient; producing 100 tons of polystyrene can save 300 tons of trees! Prints are glazed with lightweight, shatterproof, optical clarity acrylic (providing the same general protection from the environment as glass). The back is stapled hardboard with a sawtooth hanger attached. Note: measurements provided are estimated outer dimensions, which include both the image and the frame. While we aim to keep sizing consistent, exact dimensions may vary slightly due to differences in print size or production requirements, which may result in a variation in the overall size (up to approximately 2.5cm (1"))
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 18.3cm x 24.4cm (7.2" x 9.6")
Estimated Product Size is 31cm x 36cm (12.2" x 14.2")
