Infrared portrait revealing the stars and dust of the Small Magellanic Cloud
The infrared portrait of the Small Magellanic Cloud reveals the stars and dust in this galaxy as never seen before. The Small Magellanic Cloud is a nearby satellite galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy, approximately 200, 000 light-years away.
The image shows the main body of the Small Magellanic Cloud, which is comprised of the bar on the left and a wing extending to the right. The bar contains both old stars (in blue) and young stars lighting up their natal dust (green/red). The wing mainly contains young stars. In addition, the image contains a galactic globular cluster in the lower left (blue cluster of stars) and emission from dust in our own galaxy (green in the upper right and lower right corners)
