A Grande Nuvem de Magalhães (The Large Magellanic Cloud)

E a Nebulosa da Tarântula, localizada na referida nuvem, aparecendo logo acima e à esquerda da grande mancha.

Essa nuvem, na realidade, é uma galáxia, cheia de estrelas, que orbita a nossa própria galáxia, como se fosse a Lua orbitando a Terra.

 

And the Tarantula Nebula, located inside the cloud, appearing just above and to the left of the cloud.

That cloud is, in reality, a galaxy, full of stars, that orbit our own galaxy, just like the Moon orbits the Earth.
