Orbiting our own Milky Way, the two Magellanic Clouds coexist thousands of light-years apart as irregular galaxies—meaning they never stay any one shape. And while ‘magellanic’ is in reference to the great explorer, the word itself almost takes on that same amorphous trait, especially when attached to such classic shape-shifters like clouds. Mark Webber‘s use of it certainly makes the case that a second definition be added: Mag`el`lan´ic – lacking definite form, yet indisputably beautiful.
