Such images from the HST are providing us an ever-expanding window on the universe.
The Large Magellanic Cloud is an irregular type galaxy; it's a satellite to our Milky Way.
It's only visible south of 20 degrees north latitude.

The Hubble Space Telescope has changed the ways we think about what is out there. The next space telescope will probably change our thinking about the universe even more. Still, we have to get ourselves off the planet and go out there in person before it begins to mean anything. Looking for meaning here.

I love seeing pictures of the Magellenic Cloud. The Hubble has been such a boon to the scientific community, as well as to we amateurs who just love looking at the pretty pictures!

Why do most if not all Hubble pics have the corners cropped?
