Where can you find the Magellanic clouds?
The Small Magellanic Cloud circles around the South Celestial Pole almost opposite the Southern Cross (Crux), so you can use Crux to find it. Just follow the long line of Crux from the brightest star at the foot (α Crucis) for about six lengths of the cross - you'll see the SMC as a patch of light nearby if you're in a dark enough area. Once you've found the SMC, look about one hand-span towards Crux, and you should see a larger bar-shaped patch of light - the Large Magellanic Clouds. Because they're so close to the South Celestial Pole, the Magellanic Clouds can only be seen from the southern hemisphere.
