Title AKARI's near- and mid-infrared view of the Large Magellanic Cloud

Released 01/11/2006 11:22 am

Copyright JAXA

Description
This false-colour composite image was taken by the AKARI satellite in near- and mid-infrared wavelengths (3, 7 and 11 microns), and shows a portion of the Large Magellanic Cloud.
This galaxy, a place of intense star formation, was observed by AKARI during its whole-sky survey and, for this image, during detailed observations.
In addition to the interstellar clouds, many stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud can be seen as white dots.
