Star cluster wall art – Hercules Cluster, Gebel Kamil, Campo del Cielo and Aletai meteorites

This star cluster wall art pairs an astrophotograph with three genuine meteorite fragments: Gebel Kamil, Campo del Cielo and Aletai. 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

The Great Hercules Cluster (M13) packs several hundred thousand of the Milky Way’s oldest stars into a ball about 145 light-years across, some 22,000 light-years away. To go further, our page on the Great Hercules Cluster also tells you more.

Three genuine fragments: Gebel Kamil, Campo del Cielo and Aletai

Thus, three fragments share the same disc. Gebel Kamil is a very nickel-rich iron meteorite from a small crater in the Egyptian desert. Campo del Cielo is an iron meteorite that fell about 4,000 years ago in northern Argentina. Aletai is an iron meteorite from the Chinese Altai, with a distinctive metallic sheen. Each one also has its own certificate. You can also read our article: Where do meteorites come from?
