The Southern Ring Nebula
Two stars sit in a tight orbit at the centre. The fainter one has been throwing off these shells for thousands of years.
Dark grey and light grey are not available in this size.
NGC 3132, a planetary nebula about 2,500 light years away, photographed in near infrared by the James Webb Space Telescope and released on 12 July 2022 among Webb's first images. Two stars are locked together in a tight orbit at its centre. The fainter of the two is near the end of its life and has been sending out rings of gas and dust in all directions for thousands of years. Each shell marks an episode in which it lost some of its mass, so the outer shells are the oldest.
An orange shell, a pale blue centre, one bright star in the middle with long spikes. The layers read like growth rings, the oldest at the edge.
Size, frame and mount
Each of our frame sizes is measured across the glaze, the clear acrylic front of the frame.
Why Perspex. We use high quality Perspex, as clear as glass, so you see the photograph exactly as it should look. It is also light and shatter resistant, so it protects the photograph, arrives safely wherever you are, and keeps even the largest frame easy to hang. Museum glass with UV protection costs a great deal more, and we would rather keep our prints at a price more people can enjoy. Prefer glass? Ask us.
Made to order, where and how
Every print is made for you when you place an order, from the full resolution file the space agencies released to the finished print. Our studios in the US, the UK, the EU and Australia each print for their own region.
Framed prints are giclée printed on fine art paper, set in an acid free white mount behind acrylic glazing, and framed in sustainably sourced wood with a smooth satin finish.

DeliveryOur most asked questions
Most NASA and space prints online come from old, low resolution press release images, recycled across the internet. Ours start from NASA’s scans of the original film and its processed mission images, restored from scratch with the latest tools. They are the same high quality restorations that feature in our bestselling books.
Neither. It is the glaze, the clear Perspex at the front of the frame. The photograph sits inside a mount, so it is smaller: a 20 × 20 in glaze holds a 16 × 16 in photograph. The frame is 7/8 in (22 mm) deep.
Yes. The hanging hardware is already fitted to the back: a cobra hook on frames up to about 27.5 × 39.4 in (70 × 100 cm), and a sawtooth hanger on larger frames. A screw or a nail in the wall is all you need.
Framed prints are giclée printed on fine art paper, then mounted and framed by hand. Photo art prints are printed on 240gsm lustre photo paper with a satin finish, right to the edge. Both are printed from the files we restored for the books.
A framed print leaves our studio within 24 to 96 hours, a photo art print within 24 to 72 hours. After that, delivery usually takes:

- United Kingdom: 1 to 3 working days
- Europe: 1 to 10 working days
- Rest of the world: 2 to 15 working days

The phone case
Two layers protect your phone. The outer shell is strong, lightweight, aircraft grade polycarbonate: impact resistant and shatterproof. Inside, a flexible black liner absorbs the shock of drops and falls.
The photograph is printed edge to edge, around every corner, side and edge, and the gloss finish brings out the colour.
Each case is moulded to fit your model precisely, with clear, open ports. Cases for iPhone 16, 17 and 18 have MagSafe built in (not the 16e and 17e). Cases for older iPhones, Galaxy and Pixel have no magnets. Wireless charging works with all cases. Made for 39 models of iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel: choose yours above. Phone not listed? Email us and we'll check if we can make it.
Each case is made to order in our studios in the US, the UK, the EU and Australia. In Europe it comes from our EU or UK studio, and usually arrives 3 to 8 working days after it leaves the studio.
To clean it, wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and alcohol based cleaners.
