The two Magellanic are each about ten times larger.

另外两个麦哲伦星系均为X星系的十倍以上。

A small, irregular galaxy, the SMC represents a type of galaxy more common in the early Universe.

作为一个小而不规则的星系，小麦哲伦星系呈现出早期宇宙星系的普遍类型。

Composed of many overlapping clouds, the sprawling Tarantula Nebula left of center, is by far the LMC´s largest star forming region.

由重叠的云气所组成，广阔的蜘蛛星云就在中央偏左处，是大麦哲伦星系最大的恒星孕育区。
