We've recreated that thrilling, tactile experience with our exclusive line of high-quality physical photo prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 8.5\" x 11\" print features \u003cb\u003eIC 1805 - The Heart Nebula\u003c\/b\u003e. Located roughly 7,500 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia, this massive cloud of ionized gas and dark cosmic dust gets its perfect Valentine's Day shape from a brilliant cluster of super-massive stars at its core. Known as Melotte 15, these hot young stars are millions of times brighter than our Sun. Their fierce stellar winds and blistering radiation actively push the surrounding gas outward, carving out the giant cosmic heart you see here! Produced on premium one-sided gloss paper, this piece delivers stunning clarity and vibrant colors on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the reverse side, you'll find an engaging scientific description of the nebula, along with the exact Bracken Observatory equipment and exposure specs used to capture the shot—including over 10 hours of exposure with our RASA 11\" telescope—just like the classic JPL media packets of the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're an educator looking for engaging classroom materials, a parent sharing the wonders of the universe with your kids, or an astronomy enthusiast wanting a beautiful physical print to frame, this is the perfect way to experience the cosmos away from a screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.5\" x 11\" (Standard Letter Size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium one-sided gloss photo paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-resolution image on the front; science facts, shot specs, and an interactive QR code to the online showroom on the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 15px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 10px;\"\u003e🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003cem\u003e\n    \"The Heart Nebula is an absolute classic, and the RASA 11\" really pulls out those faint, glowing tendrils of ionized gas perfectly. I always love showing this one off because it so beautifully illustrates how stars shape their own environment. The fact that the Melotte 15 cluster in the center is literally blowing a massive bubble in the cosmos to create this shape is mind-boggling. It makes for an incredible physical print to hold, study, and share.\"\n  \u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bracken Observatory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49359185707147,"sku":"C1805-PRNT","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/7028\/6987\/files\/IC1805-TheHeartNebula_73464539-4170-42ae-952f-019da735a5e2.jpg?v=1789337083","url":"https:\/\/bracken-observatory.com\/products\/heart-nebula","provider":"Bracken Observatory®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
