The Magellanic Clouds are two irregular dwarf galaxies located in close proximity to the Milky Way. Due to their proximity, various properties can be observed with particularly high precision. However, there are numerous uncertainties about many observations relating to the Magellanic Clouds.
The term Magellanic system summarizes several structures that can be distinguished. In addition to the two Magellanic Clouds, there are extensive areas such as the Magellanic Stream (NASA) that were influenced by the interaction of the clouds with each other and with the Milky Way.
