Why You'll Love It
- Iconic JWST image: Inspired by Webb’s enormous mosaic of Stephan’s Quintet, one of the telescope’s first and most celebrated galaxy portraits.
- Interacting galaxies in action: Shows four galaxies caught in a gravitational “dance,” pulling out streams of gas, dust, and stars while another galaxy sits in the foreground.
- Science and cinema connection: Stephan’s Quintet is also known for its appearance in the classic film It’s a Wonderful Life, making this print a perfect blend of science history and pop culture.
- Archival print quality: Museum grade matte paper and pigment inks provide sharp detail, deep blacks, and long lasting color.
About Stephan's Quintet & James Webb
Stephan’s Quintet, also cataloged as Hickson Compact Group 92 (HCG 92), is a visual grouping of five galaxies in the constellation Pegasus. Four of the galaxies are about 290 million light years away and are actively interacting, while the fifth lies much closer in the foreground. Their close arrangement gives astronomers a front row seat to study galaxy mergers, tidal tails, starburst regions, and black hole driven outflows.
The James Webb Space Telescope captured Stephan’s Quintet in an enormous mosaic using its NIRCam and MIRI instruments. The image reveals intricate structures in gas and dust, sparkling clusters of young stars, and powerful shock waves where one galaxy plows through the group. This poster translates that rich scientific view into a clean, modern print that works as both décor and a conversation starting piece of astronomy art.
