Frames

Each framed meteorite brings two stories together in one composition. First, a photograph of the sky by our collective of astrophotographers. Then, an authentic meteorite fragment, set next to the image. Thus, light from very far away meets matter that fell to Earth.

The sky images in our frames

Our astrophotographers create their images from their own nights of observation. You will find, for example, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy. The Rosette, Monkey Head, Tulip and Heart nebulae complete the selection. Finally, other frames show the craters of the Moon or the Sun.

Which framed meteorite format should you choose?

• Flat frames, in black or white, hold a 15 × 20 cm photograph. They therefore suit a desk or a shelf well.
• Deep frames, on the other hand, give the fragment more depth.
• Finally, large frames offer a more immersive image.

On several designs, the certificate of authenticity sits on the front of the frame. You then read the name of the meteorite right next to the fragment.

Choose by image or by meteorite

You can choose your frame in two ways. First by the image: a galaxy, a nebula, the craters of the Moon or the Sun. Then by the meteorite: Campo del Cielo, Gebel Kamil, NWA 14093 or Laâyoune 003, a lunar meteorite. In fact, the name of the meteorite appears in the title of each product page.

The frame with a lunar meteorite thus pairs a photograph of the Moon with a real piece of the Moon.

And for a fragment of the Red Planet, see our frames with a Martian meteorite.

Where to hang your framed meteorite

For example, place it above a desk or in a bookcase, at eye level. It also suits the bedroom of a child who loves space. However, avoid direct sunlight, in order to preserve the colors of the photograph.
