. ATLAS is a project to image seven square degrees of sky, in two fields (CDF-S and ELAIS-S1), at radio wavelengths, to an rms of about 15 Jy, making it the widest deep radio survey aver attempted. The fields are chosen to cover the Spitzer Wide-Area IR Extragalactic Survey (SWIRE), and the radio images cut through the dust, to trace the cosmic history of AGN and star-forming galaxies.

The Big Bang was not an explosion from a single point, with a center and an edge. ... Each dot represents a "galaxy". Two of the galaxies have a ring of red photons moving out from them. Most of the photons are cosmic microwave background photons that were present since the Big Bang but which have been traveling freely only since 0.0003 Gyr after the Big Bang. ... However, all parts of the Universe started with CMBR photons, not just the two green galaxies. ... FAQ | ...

... The Large Magellanic Cloud is a Dwarf Irregular galaxy in orbit around our own Milky Way. It is a large object, several degrees in size, and easily visible to the unaided eye in Southern Hemisphere skies.
