Menkhib and the California Nebula Canvas

$35.95
Step into the heart of the Milky Way with Stellar Majesty, a dazzling canvas showcasing one of the night sky’s hottest stars—Menkhib—set against the vibrant sweep of the California Nebula. Captured by NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), this breathtaking scene brings the drama of star formation and cosmic forces to life in vivid infrared color.
Menkhib, seen glowing in brilliant blue-white in the upper left, is a massive, 40-solar-mass star burning at a staggering 37,000 Kelvin—over six times hotter than our Sun. It shines with 330,000 times the Sun’s brightness and lives fast as a runaway star, blasting through space and carving a shock wave in the surrounding dust. WISE reveals this shock-heated dust as a red cloud—a striking contrast in this dynamic interstellar landscape.
Flowing diagonally through the image is the sprawling California Nebula, a vast region of glowing gas and newborn stars located about 1,800 light-years from Earth. Together, Menkhib and the nebula lie within our galaxy's Orion spiral arm, offering us a front-row view of cosmic creation and destruction in perfect harmony.
Highlights of this canvas:
Infrared brilliance: Captured by all four WISE detectors, the image reveals rich textures and heat signatures invisible to the naked eye.
Runaway star in motion: Menkhib’s powerful stellar winds and the resulting red shockwave tell the story of a star hurtling through the cosmos.
Cosmic perspective: A deep-space snapshot of the stellar forces shaping our galaxy, rendered in stunning celestial color.
Whether you're an astronomy buff, a space dreamer, or a lover of the extraordinary, this canvas brings the vast, fiery beauty of the universe right to your wall.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
