1 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,260 VISTA Unveils the Large Magellanic Cloud 2 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:22,460 ESO’s wide-field survey telescope VISTA has released a new remarkable image of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). 3 00:00:25,540 --> 00:00:32,460 The LMC is one of our nearest galactic neighbours... 4 00:00:33,220 --> 00:00:41,200 …and is the perfect environment to study stellar evolution, galactic dynamics, and variable stars. 5 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:50,660 The VISTA Magellanic Clouds Survey has mapped the star formation history of the LMC and its three-dimensional structures. 6 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:59,740 The new image reveals more impressive details about our galactic neighbour. 7 00:01:01,180 --> 00:01:09,200 VISTA uses near-infrared wavelengths which allows us to peer through the obscuring dust.
