A recent Hubble Space Telescope image reveals a view of the star-studded open cluster NGC 376, which is located in the Small Magellanic Cloud nearly 200,000 light-years away.
"For billions of years, the Milky Way’s most massive companions – the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds – have been on a tumultuous journey through space, orbiting one another while being torn by the gravitational pull of our own galaxy," Hubble researchers said in a description of a September 2022 study.

Located in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy nearly 200,000 light-years from Earth, NGC 376 has a total mass of only about 3,400 times that of the sun, according to the European Space Agency.
