If you think a little while about this image and imagine what is actually happening there you will be shocked, no matter are you an astrophysicist or a young person just inspired by the beauty of the cosmos. There are two colliding galaxies, objects with the diameter of dozens of thousands light years wide. Mind-blowing...
This image of the Antennae galaxies is the sharpest image of the merging pair of galaxies. During the course of the collision, billions of stars will be formed. The brightest and most compact of these star birth regions are called super star clusters. These galaxies are located 62 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Corvus.
The two spiral galaxies started to interact a few hundred million years ago, making the Antennae galaxies one of the nearest and youngest examples of a pair of colliding galaxies. Nearly half of the faint objects in the Antennae image are young clusters containing tens of thousands of stars. The orange blobs to the left and right of the image center are the two cores of the original galaxies and consist mainly of old stars criss-crossed by filaments of dust, which appear brown in the image. The two galaxies are dotted with brilliant blue star-forming regions surrounded by glowing hydrogen gas, appearing in the image in red/pink.
The Image was reprocessed from the raw (Fits data) by the astrophotographer and founder of Cosmonity Michał Ostaszewski. This specific image was reprocessed using 3 main RGB channels related to narrowband filters of wavelengths of 435nm for the blue channel 550nm for the green channel and 814nm for the red channel also supported by a fourth additional channel representing the emission of ionized hydrogen(h-alpha) with the 656nm wavelength. This additional channel shows strong red nebulosity regions in the merging galaxy. Image was originally taken in 2005, so reprocessing allows to use the latest tools and enhanced details in a new and better way which offers a better quality of final print.

Plejady fotoobraz 50x70
Obraz piękny. Za każdym razem, kiedy wchodzę do pokoju i moje oko wyłapuje obraz, to zatrzymuje mnie na moment jego głębia i piękno. Obraz jest jakby żywy, jakby tętnił swoim życiem. Trochę żałuję, że nie wybrałam większego rozmiaru. Może za jakiś czas to nadrobię. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam ciepło, Beata

Dust of the Milky Way ~200x80
I chose a version in the "Canvas Print" technique. I am really pleased with the effect, as you can see in the attached picture. The picture is inspiring and breathtaking.
I had a lot of questions before the purchase, and in the process, I got all answers and support I needed. The responses were fast, precise, and kind. If you have any doubts, wait no more - the work is worth the price and looks at least as good as you can see in pictures. :)

Antennae Galaxies - NGC 4038/4039
Others prints from Hubble Telescope Collection
The beginning of the story
In 1990 Nasa sent to Earth's orbit extraordinary machine which changed our view of the universe, inspired millions of people and unbelievably develop our discoveries. This machine was the Hubble Space Telescope, named after prominent astronomer of the first part of the XX century - Edwin Hubble.
After overcoming the initial problems with the design error of the main mirror Hubble Space Telescope shows us the cosmos in a way that shocked everyone.
5 servicing missions and 32 years later Hubble is still operating and reveals to us the great mysteries of the universe.
True beauty of cosmos
Images taken by Hubble are just overwhelming. They merge science and art created by the best artist which is nature driven by the laws of physics. But to be able to capture them, first we had to understand the mechanics of imaging the cosmos.
The collection of prints available on Cosmonity consists the reprocessed from the absolute scratch and iconic non touched images, to allow you to hang them on your wall and experience the scientific beauty everyday.
Collection driven by passion
I was amazed by the Hubble Images and space exploration already as a small child. I was not thinking then about what I will do in the future (except to be a fighter pilot 😉) but I just ask a lot of what is there..
This curiosity drives me to this day. I learned enough to be able to download raw data(fits data) from this space observatory and reprocess images from zero. This process not only allowed me to understand these images from every single pixel but also gives me the credibility to ensure you about the top quality of the prints which are available on Cosmonity.
This collection and other products are prepared with the best care about the details, but if you have any questions, always feel free to ask anything!
Michał Ostaszewski,
founder of Cosmonity
How I was able to reprocess images? What does it even mean?
For that question, I could write a book. But in short: Each astrophotograph is a light captured by the camera and has the form of FITS data(that's how in astronomy RAW is called) from FITS I can build an image in some sophisticated software. Is it simple? Definitely not, I started my interest in astrophotography when I was a kid, but the way which I had to come to be in the actual place and develop skills took 20 years.
Which images are reprocessed and which does not?
I reprocessed 10 images from the collection. In the description of the each image you will find the credits. The rest of the images are public domain images processed by NASA/ESA/STScl and we just only specially prepared them for the printing with some AI detail enhancing tools.
Do we have worldwide shipping?
Yes, Earth is not very big planet at least with the XXI century transport possibilities. So you can order print to the any corner of our planet and experience scientific beauty on your wall.
Which print type is for you?
We create our prints in our own printing studio.
Combining experience in Fine Art printing with many
years spent on developing skills in astrophotography
we can offer the best possible quality. We use Canon
certified Printer with the LUCIA PRO 12-color Ink system.
Every print is produced handmade and undergoes
quality control.
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.
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).
Canvas Print
Ready to exhibit on your wall canvas print stretched on the wooden frame. Printed on 360gsm cotton-polyester high quality canvas with inkjet 12-color technology. Canvas has visible structure and ready print is borderless(does not need any additional framing). Available in sizes up to 100x100cm, bigger sizes we only prepare for special orders (if you are interested contact us). Canvas prints to the destinations beyond Europe shipped as rolled sheets - needs framing.
