The SINGS Tuning-Fork
SINGS Hubble Tuning Fork Poster

The "lifestyles" of 75 neighboring galaxies are illuminated in this poster from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. In this composite, blue colors reveal light from an older population of stars. Tints of green represent organic molecules called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, while red lumps show clouds of warm dust and gas heated by radiation from newborn stars. The galaxies are organized by shape, according to the Hubble-Tuning Fork.

The poster contains a full description of the galaxies

Our posters are space agency approved reproductions of originals. Most are out of print or offered only as electronic downloads. They are printed on 10 mil photographic paper and should have a long life. As with any wall decor, keep it out of direct sunlight to avoid discoloration and fading.

The posters have the same high quality as all of our prints but we offer them at a special reduced price for classroom use and to stimulate interest in astronomy. .
