Caption:
Astronomers have created two composite images of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC),
the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way. This image shows the LMC at both lower and
higher wavelengths of infrared light, a form of light that is not visible to
the human eye. To produce the new visuals, an international group of astronomers
— including researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison — worked with
data collected by the the Spitzer Space Telescope of the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration. During its six-year mission orbiting the sun, the Spitzer
has been gathering infrared images of objects in the universe.
