Summary

Description
English: The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are satellite galaxies of the Milky Way Galaxy. The parallax data in the Gaia EDR3 dataset allows the foreground stars to be removed for clarity. Color saturation has ben enhanced 8x to show relative temperature differences between the stars using a white balance temperature of 4550K. This image was rendered by bsrender (https://github.com/kevinloch/bsrender) using the star records from the Gaia EDR3 dataset (https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/earlydr3). The original 16k rendering has been scaled down to 8k.
