LMC Suprise!
My impression of the LMC has been changed forever!!
I am so used to seeing the Large Magellanic Cloud all my life as a Blobby Galaxy (technical term is actually 'Irregular Galaxy').
I was truly amazed to find out it is actually a very shoddy Spiral!
For those of you with 'Australian Sky and Telescope' May Edition have a look on page 13 at the Radio Telescope image of the LMC.
In Radio images it shows a definite Pinwheel Structure!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
