Description:
Our nearby galaxy (after Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy) the Large Magellanic cloud is one of the marvelous sight of the southern sky. Like many irregular galaxies is very rich in dust and HII regions. Right now is under a intense process of star formation activity. The LMC contains a stellar bar that is geometrically off-center, suggesting that it was once a barred dwarf spiral galaxy First spotted by Persian astronomers and afterwards by Amerigo Vespucci, but it was by Ferdinand Magellan on his voyage in 1519 who brought it to popularity.
