May 3, 2017 · The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) galaxy is a striking feature of the southern sky even to the unaided eye. But visible-light telescopes cannot get a really clear view of what is in the galaxy because of obscuring clouds of interstellar dust.

The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is a dwarf galaxy near the Milky Way. [5] Classified as a dwarf irregular galaxy, the SMC has a D 25 isophotal diameter of about 5.78 kiloparsecs (18,900 light-years), [1] [3] and contains several hundred million stars. [5] It has a total mass of approximately 7 billion solar masses. [6]

Apr 18, 2006 · Small Magellanic Cloud (ground-based image) The two-colour image shows an overview of the full Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and was composed from two images from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 . The field of view is slightly larger than 3.5›.

Jun 3, 2013 · The approximately 15-megapixel SMC image has a total exposure time of 1.8 days. The image includes light from 1,600 to 3,300 angstroms — UV wavelengths largely blocked by Earth's atmosphere — and has an angular resolution of 2.5 arcseconds.

Dec 5, 2022 · A small portion of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is pictured in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The SMC is a dwarf galaxy and one of the Milky Way’s nearest neighbours, lying only about 200 000 light-years from Earth.
