The large magellanic cloud galaxy has an irregular shape. It does not look like spiral and elliptical galaxies shown in pictures.
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.

Magellanic Clouds .
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way. It and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) are visible from the southern hemisphere, and were named in honor of Ferdinand Magellan, whose crew sailing around the world were the first Europeans to see them.
The three galaxies (other than our galaxie) that the naked eye can see is The Andromeda Galaxie, The Large Magellanic Cloud, and The Magellanic Cloud.
Small Magellanic cloud galaxies are shaped irregularly. They do not follow a regular form pattern when they are being created.

The Large Magellanic cloud.
The Magellanic Cloud was created in 1955.
The Magellanic Cloud has 422 pages.
It is an irregular galaxy.
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a galaxy, whereas the Small Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy.
The Large Magellanic Cloud is about 160,000 light years away. The Small Magellanic Cloud is about 200,000 light years away.
Irregular Galaxies do not, such as the Small Magellanic Cloud
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is classed as an irregular galaxy and thus does not have any defined shape. It was once a barred spiral galaxy but has since been disrupted by the Milky Way. See related link for a pictorial so you can make your own mind up.
