30 Doradus
Date

Images taken at multiple wavelengths showing the dust and the magnetic fields in 30 Doradus. The color scale shows the intensity of the infrared radiation from the dust, or dust emission, and the lines show the morphology, or the structure, of the magnetic fields. The images taken at the shorter wavelengths (53- 89 microns), reveal warmer dust, while the images taken at the longer wavelengths (114-213 microns) show cooler dust.
