Small Magellanic cloud and a swarm of stars
There are many dwarf and irregular galaxies in the universe, they are vastly more numerous than spiral, elliptical and other galaxies and are part of a good percentage of the baryonic matter in the universe, some formed since the big bang and others have been wandering In intergalactic space after much of its matter was distorted and engulfed by larger galaxies, the Small Magellanic Cloud is one of them, on the right side of the image, more than 200 thousand light years away, it can be observed in the constellation of the Tucan. In the upper left corner is a cosmic swarm, globular cluster 47 Tucan, 16,700 light years away, visible to the naked eye in dark skies.
At the bottom we can find another cluster, it is NGC 362, more than 27 thousand light years away.
