Big Clouds Have Little Clouds

The Large Magellanic Cloud is actually a galaxy, but it was named as it was because until telescopes improved, no one could tell it was not a part of our Milky Way. It has, as the picture below shows, clouds of its own that surround the young stars being formed in it.

At least, they were young 163,000 years ago, when the light we see today left them for the long journey to our eyes and instruments. In order to know what they look like now, we'll have to wait until some time around the year 165,000 AD.

Give or take.
