Gaia image showing the stellar densities of the Large and Small Magellanic clouds(LMC and SMC). These are dwarf satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. This image shows their stellar densities using data obtained by Gaia spacecraft's Early Data Release 3 data. Different colours are used to trace the stars by their age. The red layer shows stars that make the Red Giant Branch and Red cluster stars. The green layer shows Main Sequence stars of different ages. The blue layer shows stars that are younger than 400 million years. | |
