Description

A section of the Small Magellanic Cloud which can often seem like a cluster of jewels but is classified as a dwarf irregular galaxy at a distance of about 200,000 light-years from Earth. The Cloud is visible to the naked eye and resembles a hazy patch across constellations Hydrus and Tucana.
