Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex
Dark Nebula

This print offers a unique view of the universe, displaying a star-forming region within the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex. Taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, the image shows over 50 young stars, many of which are surrounded by the shadows of protoplanetary disks indicating future planetary formation. It's a close-up look at one of the nearest star-forming regions to Earth.

The image was captured in infrared wavelengths that penetrate deep into cold molecular clouds and highlight the heat of young stars. This method provides a more in-depth perspective of the star-forming region than optical wavelengths can offer.

Publisher's Note:
This is a square format image. Also, this image is extremely high resolution and produces tack-sharp prints at virtually any size.

    Note: 
    Sizes are in inches and these are our defaults. If you require custom border sizes or no border, then please contact us or specify in the comments section at Checkout.

    Unframed Premium and Fine Art Prints

    Prints over 11"x14" come with borders by default.

    Paper Size Image Size Border

      All images are cropped to fit the selected size within +/- .5". Therefore, some part of the image may not appear in the final print, when comparing to the online thumbnail. This missing part may appear on the sides or the top and bottom. This is a standard printing practice so that the finished product will fit standard frame sizes. This cropping is the default action.

      If you would like uncropped images, tell us by putting a note in the comment section at Checkout. Keep in mind that the uncropped image size will always be smaller than the ordered size.

      The actual sizes of objects in the image may not vary within 1/2" due to printer resizing during the final print imaging on the printers.

      Arrived with a fold mark

      Print looks nice but there's a fold mark about a third of the way from the bottom. Not sure if it happened in shipping or during printing. Emailed them and waiting to hear back.

      Hi Clive, a fold mark is something we'll cover regardless of where it happened in the process. If you haven't heard back yet, please resend to contact@skyimagelab.com with your order number and we'll get a reprint on the way this week. Jamie
