The Large Magellanic Cloud is about 160,000 light years away.
The Small Magellanic Cloud is about 200,000 light years away.
No. The Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud are satellite galaxies, separate from the Milky Way. They were named in honor of Ferdinand Magellan, the leader of the first European expedition to circumnavigate the Earth. The LMC and SMC are only visible south of the equator.
There are two Magellanic clouds. Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud. Distance to Large Magellanic Cloud: 158,200 light years. Distance to Small Magellanic Cloud: 199,000 light years.
The Large Magellanic cloud.
The Magellanic Cloud was created in 1955.
The Magellanic Cloud has 422 pages.
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a galaxy, whereas the Small Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy.
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby galaxy, once thought to be a satellite of our own. At a distance of slightly less than 50 kiloparsecs (≈157,000 light years), it is the third closest galaxy to our Milky Way Galaxy.
From Earth, it is possible to see three galaxies with the naked eye: the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), the Large Magellanic Cloud, and the Small Magellanic Cloud.
There are two Magellanic clouds at distances of 160,000 and 200,000 light-years from the Earth. 1 light year is 9.46073E12 kilometres.
The Andromeda galaxy (M31), the Large Magellanic Cloud, the Small Magellanic Cloud.
That's actually two galaxies, the "Large Magellanic Cloud" and the "Small Magellanic Cloud". Those two galaxies are far to the south; if you live in the northern hemisphere (for example, in Europe, North America, or Asia), you probably won't be able to see it.
Small Magellanic cloud galaxies are shaped irregularly. They do not follow a regular form pattern when they are being created.
