The Magellanic Stream

COSMIC MESSAGE
Behind the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, a long stream of gas stretches across the sky. This is the Magellanic Stream, and its origin might help explain the fate of these two satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. Scientists are studying whether it was stripped from the Clouds as they passed through our galaxy's halo or pulled by the Milky Way's gravity.
