Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, optical image
Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. Optical image of the two irregular dwarf galaxies the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC, left) and the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC, top right), visible in the skies of the southern hemisphere. Together with our Milky Way Galaxy, these galaxies are part of the Local Group of galaxies. It was thought that they were satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, but recent research suggests that they are on a longer trajectory passing near the Milky Way. The LMC is some 160, 000 light years away in the constellations of Dorado and Mensa, and the SMC is around 200, 000 light years from Earth in the constellations of Tucana and Hydrus. The strong tidal forces exerted by the Milky Way have distorted the galaxies considerably. Image published in 2009.
