About This Design

The Cartwheel Galaxy And Its Companion Galaxies. Postcard

The Cartwheel Galaxy And Its Companion Galaxies. Postcard

The Cartwheel Galaxy and its companion galaxies. This galaxy formed as the result of a high-speed collision that occurred about 400 million years ago. The Cartwheel is composed of two rings, a bright inner ring and a colorful outer ring. Both rings expand outward from the center of the collision like shockwaves. Despite the impact, much of the character of the large, spiral galaxy that existed before the collision remains, including its rotating arms. This leads to the spokes that inspired the name of the Cartwheel Galaxy, which are the bright red streaks seen between the inner and outer rings. These brilliant red hues, located not only throughout the Cartwheel, but also the companion spiral galaxy at the top left, are caused by glowing, hydrocarbon-rich dust. Amidst the red swirls of dust, there are many individual blue dots, which represent individual stars or pockets of star formation.

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
