The globular star cluster 47 Tucanae, which is made up of about 1 million stars, is one of the densest globular clusters in the Southern Hemisphere.
Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) Satellite galaxy to our own Milky Way system, appearing to the unaided eye as a nebulous patch in the constellation of Tucana. From mid-southern latitudes the SMC is circumpolar.
They are both bright (12 magnitude) compact open clusters located in the Small Magellanic Cloud spanning a distance of 65 light years across and located 200,000 light years in distance from the Blue Planet in the Constellation Tucana.
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is an irregular-shaped in the . The irregular shape may be the result of a disturbance, perhaps a collision of two galaxies. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is near the Tucana, and is under 200,000 away.
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is near the Dorado, and is 163,000 away. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is near the constellation Tucana, and is under 200,000 light-years away. These two clouds are satellites of our .
