The Universe Poster Map Map Type: Laminated (20" x 31")

As far as we can see with our ever-improving telescopes, there are at least a hundred billion galaxies arrayed throughout the universe. Each, like the Milky Way, is an "island universe" containing billions of stars. This map uses graphic "leaps of scale" to show how our solar system fits within the vastness of the universe. The map also includes a universe timeline and a description of its evolution.

Dry Erase Lamination is a specialty laminate that allows for dry erase markers to be used on the finished print and erased as desired. The dry erase lamination makes this map a convenient and useful detailed reference ready for wet or dry erase markers, sticker dots, and graphic tape.
