Peer into the heart of the Papillon Nebula, a cosmic fantasy of star clusters, glowing gas clouds and the scattered remains of supernova explosions. This spectacular art mug reveals incredible detail in the massive star-forming region, including a myriad of hot, young stars lighting up the gas with their intensity.
 
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 Papillon Nebula, for which credit duly goes to: ESA/Hubble & NASA.
 
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.
