==================================================
Sand dunes often accumulate in the floors of craters on Mars. In this region of Lyot Crater NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) shows a field of classic barchan dunes.
Just to the south of the group of barchan dunes is one large dune with a more complex structure. This particular dune, appearing like turquoise blue in enhanced color (false color), is made of finer material and/or has a different composition than the surrounding.
==================================================
We are a very high quality custom printing service and create stunning viewing experiences from our customers’ digital photography and art by printing them on our magnetic float-mounted fotoflōt classic or large format fotoflōt pro panels.
As such we generally do not sell panels with images that we select, but we have a few pieces with curated stunning Space and Earth satellite images.
The fotoflōt pro construction technique has been used in Europe for decades and becomes more popular in photo galleries, museums, and commercial and private decor in the US. It is often referred to as "C-print mounted to plexiglass" and the most iconic large-format photographs have been constructed this way, such as 99 Cent II Diptychon, Chicago Board of Trade, or Shanghai by German photographer Andreas Gursky.
fotoflōt pro panels start as traditional silver-halide photo prints that are permanently "sandwiched" between a layer of clear acrylic glazing in the front and a sheet of stabilizer in the back. Panels need no frame or mat so that the image goes all the way to the (invisible) edge.
This fotoflōt pro panel comes with a "float mount box" attached to the back for a dramatic wall mounted floating display and has been constructed as follows:
* An extremely high resolution image has been printed on the glossy version of Fuji Crystal Archive Professional C Type photo paper. The silver-halide continuous tone photo print was made on a 50in wide Durst Lambda printer.
* Fuji Crystal Archive Professional C type paper is one of the most resilient and fade-resistant photo papers available. It has been tested by Wilhelm Imaging Research, the industry’s “gold standard” for testing of photo paper durability. Their tests show that it can be exposed to normal interior lighting and indirect sunlight for decades without perceptible fading from either light or air pollution. The panels shouldn't be displayed where they will receive direct sunlight for extended periods of time, as no display method can prevent fading under those conditions.
* The print was permanently "sandwiched" between a layer of clear acrylic glazing and a sheet of white 3mm Dibond as a stabilizer in the back.
* We have selected the compound aluminum Dibond backing for its superior dimensional stability across a wide temperature range.
