Even if this galaxy was good know by the Persian and others observers from the Africa thousands years ago, first famous notes in wester world comes from Ferdinand Magellan. That’s the reason why this galaxy is named from him. It is 163 000 light years away from Earth and cover around space on the sky with radius of 10 degrees what cover around 20 times the Moon’s diameter. The brightest nebula on the right part of the photograph is the Tarantula Nebula, the big ionized hydrogen region. This photograph was taken in Namibia, under the one of the darkest sky on the Earth.
