Comet wall art with Aletai and NWA 13290 meteorites – black frame with mount

This comet wall art pairs an astrophotograph with two genuine meteorite fragments: Aletai and NWA 13290. The black frame and its white mount give the piece a gallery-style finish, with the fragments set in a white disc on the photo. It is therefore a one-of-a-kind piece, both decorative and scientific.

What the photo shows

As it nears the Sun, a comet’s nucleus of ice and dust warms up and releases a coma and a tail that can stretch for millions of kilometres.

Two genuine fragments: Aletai and NWA 13290

Thus, two fragments share the same disc. Aletai is an iron meteorite from the Chinese Altai, with a distinctive metallic sheen. NWA 13290 is an H6 ordinary chondrite, a stony meteorite found in 2019 in Algeria. Each one also has its own certificate. You can also read our article: All about the Aletai meteorite.
