The UV SMC from UIT
Translated
from the "acronese" the title reads -
The UltraViolet Small Magellanic Cloud
from the Ultraviolet Imaging
Telescope.
FYI, the four
ultraviolet images used in
this mosaic of the nearby irregular galaxy known as
the Small Magellanic Cloud were taken
by the UIT instrument during the Astro-1 and
Astro-2 shuttle missions in 1990 and 1995.
Each separate image field is slightly wider than the apparent size of the
full moon.
These ultraviolet pictures,
shown in false color, must be taken above the Earth's absorbing
atmosphere.
They highlight concentrations of hot, newly formed stars only a few millions
of years old, and reveal the progress of
recent star formation in the SMC.
