Radio Map
The Parkes 64-m (210-ft) radio telescope in Australia produced this radio map of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The colors of the image correspond to radio wave intensity; black is the least intense, red the most. A radio map often reveals structures that are invisible to visible-light telescopes.
