About The Magellanic Clouds Project
Star clusters are collections of hundreds to millions of stars that were born together out of the same cloud of gas. These objects are powerful tools for understanding how stars form and evolve, as well as tracking the growth of galaxies. But before we can unlock these secrets, we need the help of Citizen Scientists to find the clusters. Here we hunt for star clusters in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two dwarf galaxies that orbit our Milky Way galaxy, using imaging from the Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History (SMASH) survey. Help us identify these star clusters in order to help us learn about star formation and the evolution of the Magellanic Clouds!
