This superb art mug portrays the famous Orion Nebula, marvelously bejeweled with stars and swirling, multi-colored gas and dust. What can be said about such a miraculous entity? This was us. Our Sun, our planets, our stellar neighbors -- all born out of the interstellar medium, in a magnificent cloud just like this.
 
This large and sturdy 15 oz White Glossy Ceramic Mug is perfect for your morning coffee, afternoon tea, or whatever hot beverage you enjoy while midnight stargazing. The artwork is a reproduction of an original 24 x 36 inch acrylic on canvas painting created by the artist Tracey Kendall.
 
Ms. Kendall’s inspiration for the painting came from the Hubble Space Telescope image of the Orion Nebula, for which credit duly goes to: NASA, ESA, M. Robberto (Space Telescope Science Institute/ESA) and the Hubble Space Telescope Orion Treasury Project Team.
 
In the view of Derek the Stargazer ... as you can see from the product shots, this mug is delightful to look at, hold onto, and even dream about. Several of our customers have bought multiple mugs from the Hubble collection, giving them a veritable “cosmic art gallery” in their kitchen or office space. This mug is dishwasher safe, but I recommend hand washing whenever possible to preserve the vivid printing for the longest possible time. It is also microwave safe.
