Little Galaxy Explored
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).
