Elephant’s Trunk Nebula art with NWA 13290 meteorite – deep box frame

This Elephant’s Trunk Nebula art pairs an astrophotograph with a genuine fragment of the NWA 13290 meteorite. The deep black box frame adds depth: the photo and the meteorite seem to float behind the glass, like in a museum display case. It is therefore a one-of-a-kind piece, both decorative and scientific.

What the photo shows

In Cepheus, about 2,400 light-years away, the Elephant’s Trunk (IC 1396A) is a column of gas and dust sculpted by the wind of a massive star – new stars are still forming inside it. To go further, our page on the Elephant’s Trunk Nebula also tells you more.
