Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) by Bartosz Wojczynski

The galaxies are never alone, even so big cosmic structures have their own “satellites”. In case of the our galaxy Milky Way, the biggest satellite galaxy is the Large Magellanic Cloud which can be easy visible by the naked eye from the southern hemisphere.

Even if this galaxy was well known by the Persians and other observers from Africa thousands of years ago, the first famous note in the western 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 covers around space in the sky with a radius of 10 degrees which covers 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 one of the darkest sky on the Earth.

Hey there, space enthusiasts! I’m Adam Jesionkiewicz, the founder of Astrography.

Astrography isn't just a business; it's a sanctuary for anyone captivated by the stars, planets, and galaxies far, far away.
