   5 days ago · The binary star system VFTS 243 is located in the dwarf galaxy “Large Magellanic Cloud” in the periphery of the Milky Way. The Magellanic Clouds are satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. These dwarf galaxies, which orbit the galactic center, are only visible from the Southern Hemisphere.

   3 days ago · On the surface of our Sun, such strong magnetic fields can be detected only in small highly magnetized areas – spots. The discovery of such phenomena in the Magellanic Clouds is the first evidence that mass star formation in galaxies with a young stellar population occurs in the same way as in the Milky Way.

   May 19, 2024 · The Magellanic Clouds were recognized early in the 20th century as companion objects to the Galaxy. When American astronomer Edwin Hubble established the extragalactic nature of what we now call galaxies, it became plain that the Clouds had to be separate systems, both of the irregular class and more than 100,000 light-years distant.

   When were the Magellanic Clouds formed?

   • The Magellanic Clouds were formed at about the same time as the Milky Way Galaxy, approximately 13 billion years ago. They are presently captured in orbits around the Milky Way Galaxy and have experienced several tidal encounters with each other and with the Galaxy.

   What is a Magellanic Cloud?

   • The Magellanic Clouds ( Magellanic system or Nubeculae Magellani ) are two irregular dwarf galaxies in the southern celestial hemisphere. Orbiting the Milky Way galaxy, these satellite galaxies are members of the Local Group. Because both show signs of a bar structure, they are often reclassified as Magellanic spiral galaxies.

   Why are the Magellanic Clouds distorted?

   • The Magellanic Clouds have both had their shapes distorted by gravitational interactions with the Milky Way. As these galaxies pass near the Milky Way, their gravitational pull also misshapes the outer bars of our galaxy. Recent studies of the Small Magellanic Cloud indicate that it might be a former single galaxy split into two remnants.
