(SMC)
RA: 00:52:44.8 - dec: -72 °: 49:43 - 210,000 ly - Dwarf Irregular
Travelling around Our Galaxy the Small Magellanic Cloud we encounter (SMC).
It's an irregular dwarf galaxy, Perhaps originally a barred spiral, disrupted by the tidal forces of the Milky Way. It's located at a distance of 210.000 l.y. from Earth.
A stream of hydrogen and stars, the Magellanic Stream, is ejected from the Great Cloud and the Small Cloud (SMC) and connected with the Milky Way. Another stream, similarly composed, extends, however, between the Great and the Small Cloud and is called Magellanic Bridge.
The discovery occurred in 964 by the Persian astronomer Rohman al-Abd al-Sufi but the name was attributed to Ferdinand Magellan who first described it along with the Small Cloud (SMC).
