Astronaut Don Pettit captured from Crew Dragon the c (LMC, left) and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC, right), dwarf galaxies in close proximity with the Milky Way galaxy. LMC is roughly one-hundredth the mass of the Milky Way and is the fourth-largest galaxy in the Local Group, after the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), the Milky Way, and the Triangulum Galaxy (M33). SMC has a total mass of approximately 7 billion solar masses. At a distance of about 200,000 light-years, the SMC is among the nearest intergalactic neighbors of the Milky Way and is one of the most distant objects visible to the naked eye.
