What is a pair of irregular galaxies in the neighborhood of the milky way?
That sounds like the Magellanic Clouds. Two galaxies that are satellites of our galaxy, visible in the Southern Hemisphere. They may be confused with clouds, but they are always in the same part of the sky (including in the apparent rotation of the sky around the Earth, of course).
The clouds of Magellan the Sagittarius dwarf are examples of what galaxies?
The clouds of Magellan and the Sagittarius dwarf are examples of satellite galaxies, which are small galaxies that orbit larger galaxies like our Milky Way. They are located relatively close to the Milky Way and are gravitationally bound to it.
How far is the milky way away from the large magellanic cloud?
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.
What does Magellanic mean?
The LMC and the SMC (Large and Small Magellanic Clouds) are named afterFernão de Magalhães, better known as Ferdinand Magellan. He was the first to bring the MC into common Western knowledge during his circumnavigation of the Earth in 1519--22.
What is the differences between large planets and small planets?
The difference between large planets and small planets are that large planets are made up of gases and therefore don't have soild surfaces where as small planets are made up of rocks and other materials liek that and have soild surfaces.
What is the distance to the Magellanic clouds?
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.
Is the magellanic clouds a galaxy?
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a galaxy, whereas the Small Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy.
What are the names of some irregular galaxies?
Canis Major Dwarf and Small Magellanic Cloud are irregular satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.The two irregular galaxies that orbit the Milky Way are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.

What is the name of the irregular galaxies lying near the South celestial pole?
The name of the irregular galaxies lying near the South celestial poles is called the Magellanic Clouds. The large Magellanic Cloud is called the Nubecula Major and the smaller one is called the Nubecula Minor.
What ae the names of the Magellanic Clouds that neighbor the Milky Way galaxy?
Large and Small (LMC & SMC)
What is a Magallanic cloud?
The Magellanic clouds are two small galaxies visible in the night sky only from the Southern Hemisphere. Up until 1994 when an even closer one was discovered, they were the closest galaxies to our own galaxy, the Milky Way. The Magellanic clouds are believed to be in orbit around our galaxy.
What is the name of the galaxy which is nearest to your own?
The Andromeda galaxy is the nearest large galaxy. There are several "dwarf" galaxies which are nearer, including the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds
What is the furthest objects visible in the sky are called?
With the naked eye, you can see some galaxies, like the two Magellanic Clouds, and the Andromeda Galaxy. The farthest objects visible in large telescopes would also be entire galaxies.With the naked eye, you can see some galaxies, like the two Magellanic Clouds, and the Andromeda Galaxy.

What is the largest magellanic cloud galaxy?
The Large Magellanic cloud.
What is the shape of the Magellanic clouds?
The Magellanic Clouds are irregular dwarf galaxies located near the Milky Way. They do not have a distinct shape and are characterized by a mix of irregular and spiral features.
Are the clouds of Magellan are two barred spiral galaxies?
The two Magellanic Clouds are irregular dwarf galaxies.
