Make a wall of your home into a picture window onto the universe.
Our large wall murals provide a dazzling, gallery-quality view of the cosmos. This black-and-white image of the Carina Nebula shows a region of tremendous star birth and death 7,500 light years away from Earth. The nebula is home to Eta Carinae, one of the most massive stars in the universe, prone to unpredictable, violent outbursts. These images can take up approximately two to six feet of wall space and may be costly to print, but will give you a panoramic vista of space.
Printing: For best results, we strongly recommend that this black-and-white wall mural be printed at a photolab or photo store with expertise in black-and-white prints. Printing a black-and-white print with a color printer may result in a poor quality print. We also recommend that the lab use black-and-white photographic paper for the highest quality print. Make sure the photo service you choose has the technical ability to produce the quality of print that you desire. One 20"x30" panel will average $30. We suggest testing your chosen photo service by ordering some smaller prints first.
Framing: These images have been designed for 3/8" frames without mats. We recommend hanging the images 1/2" away from one another.
Disclaimer: We have provided a high-quality, high-resolution image for printing. Unfortunately, we are not responsible for the quality of your final print. Please explore your options before choosing a printer.
