Prime number posters
For years Perfectly Scientific Inc. has been producing high quality posters of the largest currently known explicit prime number. Each poster is printed on thick glossy paper and measures 29 inches by 40 inches **. Framed and unframed posters dating back to June of 1999 are available for purchase. Prices vary, as each new prime tests the limits of the technology necessary to print these high-resolution posters.
The digits are very clear, but unless you have very, very good eyesight, you will need one of our watchmaker's loupes or an equivalent magnifier to read the digits.

Earth lights poster
PSI now offers its specially processed version of a NASA composite of the night lights of Earth. The image was originally generated by C. Mayhew and R. Simmon of NASA to show urban development on planet Earth. For more information on this image see Bright lights big city at the NASA site.
We have been fascinated by this image, in which you can see such entities as interstate highways, population density (relative to the incidence of electricity!), and the fractal structure of municipalities. We processed the image with a certain resolution-enhancing filter to render an attractive, high-contrast, 19'' by 38'' poster for your wall. You can also order this poster in a shiny frame with Plexiglas cover.
