NASA | A Swift Tour of the Nearest Galaxies in UV Light

The video explores the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two nearby galaxies captured in ultraviolet light by NASA's Swift satellite. It discusses their characteristics, interactions, and the imaging techniques used to study them. The Tarantula Nebula, a significant star formation region in the LMC, is highlighted, along with the SMC's notable features like the NGC 346 star cluster. The video provides insights into star evolution and the transformation of the universe.

Explain how the SWIFT telescope contributed to our understanding of the Magellanic Clouds.
