A few facts about us
We are brand based in Poland and founded by Michał Ostaszewski who specialized in astrophotography. Word "Cosmonity" which is a merge of words "cosmos" and "infinity" is registered trademark in European Union Intellectual Property Office and brand is reserved.
How it has begun?
The fascination about the cosmos and the desire to answer questions about what is there have been with me since such an early childhood that I am not even able to remember a specific moment when I first became interested in it. One of the key aspects of this interest quickly became the beauty that can be found in objects on the night sky - this is how my many years of exploring the secrets of astrophotography began. At the beginning of 2021 I started realizing one of my astrophotographic dreams of a big photo of our Milky Way galaxy for which I spent 3 weeks in the Namibian desert. Part of this project was to create a brand sharing the beauty hidden in universe and science. This is how Cosmonity was created. - Michał Ostaszewski, founder of Cosmonity
How we create our prints?
We manufacture our prints in our own printing studio. Each ordered print is custom printed and packed for you. That's why we can guarantee you the best possible quality - because each print is made by the people who really care about each unique piece of print.
What printing technique do we use?
We use only 12 color inkjet cutting edge printing technique which guarantees the most accurate color reproduction with resolution of the print up to 2400 dpi. We use Canon Image Pro 4100 Printer with Lucia Pro waterbased inks. These inks are eco and health friendly and also provide up to 100 of years durability of our print without any change in colors.
What type of paper/mediums do we use?
We only use high quality papers and canvases brand Solution, Hahnemühle and Canon.
What is Fine Art Print?
Printed on the highest quality archival 290gsm paper with noble structure. Print is prepared with the best attention to details and cut with white Passe-Partout (white borders around print) and certified with a dry stamp. This is not the normal print, this is the experience of beauty hidden in the science behind understanding the laws of the Universe
What is Signed Fine Art Print?
Some of the Fine Art Prints are available with signed and numbered by Author editions. Printed on the highest quality archival 290gsm paper with noble structure. Print is prepared with the best attention to details and cut with white Passe-Partout (white borders around print) and certified with a dry stamp. These print copies are treat like an art and has collector's value.
What is a Poster Print?
High-quality poster printed with the same technology as Signed Fine Art. The biggest difference between Fine Art and Poster is the paper which is thinner - 240gsm and causes more flares. Posters have a digital printed logo, title and details of the image. They are cut without Passe-Partout (white borders).
Why is it dark at night? (easter egg)
You probably won’t believe but the answer is because the Universe is expanding. The full explanation of this problem is known as Olbers’ paradox or dark night sky paradox.
The more detailed explanation says that the darkness of the night sky conflicts with the assumption of an infinite and eternal static u. In the hypothetical case that the universe is static, homogeneous at a large scale, and populated by an infinite number of stars, any line of sight from Earth must end at the surface of a star, and hence the night sky should be completely illuminated and very bright. This contradicts the observed darkness and non-uniformity of the night.
The darkness of the night sky is one of the pieces of evidence for a dynamic universe, such as the Big Bang model. That model explains the observed non-uniformity of brightness by invoking spacetime's expansion, which lengthens the light originating from the Big Bang to microwave levels via a process known as redshift; this microwave radiation background has wavelengths much longer than those of visible light, and so appears dark to the naked eye. Other explanations for the paradox have been offered, but none have wide acceptance in cosmology.
Does the print come with a frame?
No, the prints are shipped as rolled paper sheets in a protective tube. Currently, there are many possibilities for framing such a print on the market, so I leave it to you and you can find the perfect solution for your interior.
