“A Large Magellanic Cloud Deep Field” is copyrighted by Yuri Beletsky (ESO). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis is the Large Magellanic Cloud, the largest satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. The LMC is classified as a dwarf irregular galaxy due to its normally chaotic appearance. In this deep, wide exposure, the full extent of the LMC becomes visible. With longer exposures, the LMC begins to resemble a barred spiral galaxy. It lies about 180,000 light-years distant towards the constellation Dorado.
