In this an infrared taken by the Spitzer Telescope, we see what is called a Magellanic Cloud. A Magellanic Cloud is comprised of a "bar" on the left and a "wing on the right. The bar contains both old stars (blue) and young stars in the glowing natal dust (shown in glue and green). This image also contain a galactic globular cluster (the blue cluster of stars in the lower right corner).
