Starstruck by the Small Magellanic Cloud
Prepare to be starstruck — by the biggest infrared image ever taken​ of the Small Magellanic Cloud.
Visible-light telescopes struggle to see through the thick clouds of interstellar dust shrouding many galaxies.
But the infrared vision of ESO’s VISTA telescope opens up a whole new world​.
This dazzling new giant image of our galactic neighbour is filled with millions of stars​…
...thousands​ of background galaxies...
...and lots of bright star clusters​.
This is the Small Magellanic Cloud as you’ve never seen it before​.
