URANUS

159,97 DKK

The accidental legend. A planet discovered by pure coincidence and doomed to eternal giggles. Uranus spins on its side, gets 42 years of sunlight, 42 years of darkness, and still manages to keep a straight face... mostly. This poster is a tribute to cosmic irony: proof that even the universe has a sense of humor, and that sometimes greatness just rolls in sideways.

Poster Survival Guide

Don’t Sunbathe It


Posters love light… just not that much light. Keep it out of direct sunlight unless you’re into that washed-out, vintage look.

Frame It, Maybe?


Frames aren’t just for rich art collectors. They keep your poster flat, clean, and safe from the horror of accidental coffee spills.

Dust, Don’t Crust


A gentle wipe with a dry, soft cloth once in a while is enough. No, your mop does not qualify. And please… don’t use cleaning spray. It’s paper, not your kitchen counter.

Roll Responsibly


Moving? Roll it loosely and stick it in a cardboard tube. Don’t fold it. Folds are forever, just like bad tattoos.

Climate Control (For Posters, Not Your Mood)


Keep it in a dry, cool place. Humidity makes posters wrinkle like raisins. Basements and bathrooms? Hard no.

Recycle the Right Way


If, for some unholy reason, you stop loving it... don’t trash it. Donate, swap, or recycle.

For the Detail Freaks

The posters clean up nice with a sturdy wooden frame, already kitted out to hang straight on your wall (because wrestling with nails is overrated).

Ready-to-hang: Comes with the hanging kit, so you can skip the assembly drama.

Frame Material: Solid pine wood. Tougher than it looks.

Frame Size: Chunky enough to last (20-25mm thick), sleek enough to look good (1014mm wide).

Paper Weight: Heavyweight 200 gsm (a solid 80 lb), because floppy posters are a tragedy.

Paper Finish: Smooth matte, zero glare. No accidental mirror selfies here.

Protection: Shatterproof plexiglass, because accidents (and clumsy friends) happen.

Sustainability: FSC-certified or equivalent, so your conscience can relax.

On-Demand Magic: No warehouses, no dust. Printed fresh and shipped just for you.

What do I actually get?

If you only buy a Poster:


You get the artwork, printed in high quality, rolled up safely in a tube. No frame, no extras, just pure visual goodness waiting to hit your wall.

If you buy a Framed Poster


Same high-quality print, but this time it comes already living in a sleek frame (ready to hang the moment it arrives).

Ship & Flip

CAN I RETURN MY ORDER IF I CHANGE MY MIND?


Yep! EU law gives you a 14-day “cooling-off” period. So if you unpack your poster and decide it’s not love at first sight, you can send it back within 14 days. No hard feelings.

How do I start a return?


Just drop an email at hello@distinctroom.com with your order number. We’ll send you the return address and next steps. 

Who pays for return shipping?

Changed your mind? You cover the return shipping.

Got a damaged, misprinted, or wrong item? That’s on me. I will replace it free of charge or refund you in full.

My poster arrived damaged. What now?


Snap a quick photo and email it to me (hello@distinctroom.com) within 30 days. I will sort it out with a free replacement (or a refund if you’d rather). Easy.

What if my order never shows up?


If your package takes a holiday and gets lost in transit, I will send you a new one. No extra cost, no stress.

When will I get my money back?


Once your return lands back with me (or you show us proof it’s on the way), I will refund you to your original payment method. Usually within 14 days, but often faster.

Can I swap for another design instead?


Not directly. Since everything is printed on demand, the quickest way is: return your poster → get a refund → place a shiny new order.

Are your posters considered personalized?


Nope! All designs are my own creations, not customer-customized. That means they are returnable under EU law. If we ever launch personalized prints, those would be non-returnable (but we’ll make that super clear).

Coincidences

Picture it: 1781. William Herschel, part-time musician, full-time stargazing enthusiast (sounds familiar?), out in his backyard with a homemade telescope that probably smelled like brass polish and ambition. He’s not looking for planets, he’s just cataloguing stars, minding his own business, probably humming a tune. Then he spots one that looks a little… wrong.

It’s faint, a bit blurry, not twinkling like it should. So he keeps watching. A few nights later, he checks again... and it’s moved. Stars don’t move. Herschel, of course, assumes it’s a comet because what else could it be? But as he and other astronomers keep tracking it, the math says otherwise. Comets have long, looping orbits... this thing was moving too neatly. Too planet-like.

And that’s when everyone collectively went, “Wait a second… did this guy just find a new planet?!”

It was pure coincidence. The right night, the right direction, the right bit of curiosity. No grand expedition, no million-dollar telescope, just a guy poking around the sky for fun. And bam: the known solar system got 43% bigger overnight.

Ur a...

Herschel originally wanted to name it “Georgium Sidus” or George’s Star, in honor of King George III. Because if you’re going to make history, you might as well try to get funding out of it.
Europe collectively said “absolutely not.” Thank God.

Eventually, German astronomer Johann Bode stepped in and suggested Uranus, after the ancient Greek god of the sky, the father of Saturn, grandfather of Jupiter, to keep the mythological theme going.

While the rest of the planets are spinning like tops, Uranus rolls. Its axis is tilted at nearly 98 degrees, meaning it literally orbits the Sun on its side. Because of that tilt, each pole gets 42 years of sunlight and 42 years of darkness.


And just like that, science gave us one of the greatest unintentional comedy gifts of all time. Two hundred and fifty years later, entire classrooms still can’t get through “Uranus” without someone choking on laughter. The cosmos gave us an ice giant and humanity turned it into a punchline.

Sideways, strange, and proud of it. The playlist for the ones who orbit offbeat, break the rules, and somehow make chaos look intentional:
