“The Small Cloud of Magellan (SMC)” is copyrighted by D. Malin (AAO), AATB, ROE, UKS Telescope. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Small Magellanic Cloud is a small, irregular galaxy orbiting our Milky Way. It is about 250,000 light years away and filled with young, hot, blue stars, indicating a recent burst of star formation. This cloud, along with its larger sibling, is a common sight in the southern hemisphere, but often unknown to those in the north. The Magellanic Clouds are a pair of wonders in the southern sky.
