    Magellanic Cloud Info?

    I'm looking for information on the Greater and Lesser Magellanic Clouds. The distance to them, the number of stars in each, their approximate size. I Googled them, but only got 150,000 ly to the Greater Magellanic Cloud. Any help would be appreciated.

    I hate to be blunt . . . but check NASA.gov they should have some of the information you are looking for.

    Try here for information on the Large Magellanic Cloud and here for information on the Small Magellanic Cloud. The two Clouds are 179,000 light years and 210,000 light years distant, respectively.
