Target entity: Magellanic gaseous system Context triple: [Leading Arm of the Magellanic System, partOf, Magellanic gaseous system]
-
A.
Leading Arm of the Magellanic System
The Leading Arm of the Magellanic System is a vast stream of gas pulled from the Magellanic Clouds that extends ahead of their orbit around the Milky Way, helping astronomers study galaxy interactions and gas accretion.
-
B.
Magellanic Bridge
The Magellanic Bridge is a stream of gas and stars stretching between the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, formed by their gravitational interaction.
-
C.
Magellanic Stream
The Magellanic Stream is a vast, trailing ribbon of gas stretching across the sky, stripped from the Magellanic Clouds as they interact gravitationally with the Milky Way.
-
D.
Magellanic Clouds
The Magellanic Clouds are two irregular dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, prominently visible from the Southern Hemisphere as hazy patches in the night sky.
-
E.
Pisces Dwarf Galaxy
The Pisces Dwarf Galaxy is a small, faint dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group that orbits the Triangulum Galaxy (M33).
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
