- A collection inspired by the evolution of stars
- Photo-quality digital printing and a central magnifying lens
- A numismatic journey through the transformations that shape the Universe
During the later stages of evolution, a low- or intermediate-mass star undergoes one of the most spectacular transformations of its life cycle. As the hydrogen in its core begins to run out, it leaves its previous stage of development and its outer layers expand dramatically. The surface cools, producing a characteristic red-orange glow. This is how a Red Giant emerges — an immense celestial body and one of the most striking symbols of the later phases of stellar evolution. In this instalment of the collection, the central magnifying lens draws the eye to the structure of this extraordinary object. The digital photographic print emphasises the intensity of its colours, whilst the precise details allow us to peer into the depths of its glowing matter and discover the beauty of this cosmic transformation.
