“Magellanic Clouds over Chile” is copyrighted by Felipe Mac Auliffe López. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThese two prominent clouds in the Chilean Atacama Desert are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. They are satellite galaxies of our Milky Way, named for the 16th-century explorer Ferdinand Magellan. The Large Magellanic Cloud is about 160,000 light-years away, and the Small Magellanic Cloud is about 210,000 light-years distant. They are the brightest satellite galaxies of the Milky Way and are easily visible in the southern hemisphere skies.
