About this image
This esthetic close-up of cosmic clouds and stellar winds features LL Orionis, interacting with the Orion Nebula flow. Adrift in Orion's stellar nursery and still in its formative years, variable star LL Orionis produces a wind more energetic than the wind from our own middle-aged Sun. As the fast stellar wind runs into slow moving gas a shock front is formed, analogous to the bow wave of a boat moving through water or a plane traveling at supersonic speed. The small, arcing, graceful structure just above and left of center is LL Ori's cosmic bow shock, measuring about half a light-year across. The slower gas is flowing away from the Orion Nebula's hot central star cluster, the Trapezium, located off the upper left corner of the picture. In three dimensions, LL Ori's wrap-around shock front is shaped like a bowl that appears brightest when viewed along the "bottom" edge. The beautiful picture is part of a large mosaic view of the complex stellar nursery in Orion, filled with a myriad of fluid shapes associated with star formation.

What my clients say
I saw a beautiful picture of a lotus that would look perfect in our home, however the larger size that I needed wasn't an option for purchase. I reached out to Adam and he was quick to reply and happy to provide me with the 48 x 48 dimensions that I needed. The large canvas was shipped and arrived in perfect condition. I love it and this will bring us a lot of happiness seeing this beautiful picture placed behind our buddha fountain. We are very happy and Adam was very kind and responsive with providing me with delivery dates too.
Very pleased with my order. Everything was as advertised and my order arrived faster than expected. I would highly recommend this.
Adam is awesome! I purchased a zebra-butt print on metal from him for my brother-in-law for Christmas (yes, a long story!) and it's beautiful. Very professionally done with a metal box in back for hanging. I was proud to give it, aside from the humor factor! Also, I had to communicate several times with Adam during the process, and he is funny and very nice. All around a total pleasure to do business with. Highly recommend his work as well as his way of doing business.
