In Response To: And Then There Were Three 2.0 (poenadare)

: My bad. "And Then There Were Three" was a dupe of "Seven Days
: Less One" I posted earlier. So here is And Then There Were Three 2.0:
: First you have to go south of where Hamish lives...

Travelling around our Galaxy we encounter the Small Magellanic Cloud (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 (Portuguese explorer) who first described it along with the Small Cloud (SMC).

Cheers
Hamish
