COSMIC MESSAGE
The 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.
