The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a dwarf galaxy and satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. [7] At a distance of around 50 kiloparsecs (163,000 light-years), [2] [8] [9] [10] the LMC is the second- or third-closest galaxy to the Milky Way, after the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal (c. 16 kiloparsecs (52,000 light-years) away) and the possible dwarf irregular galaxy called the Canis Major Overdensity.
NGC 1974 (also known as NGC 1991 and ESO 85-SC89) is an open cluster associated with an emission nebula which is located in the Dorado constellation which is part of the Large Magellanic Cloud. It was discovered by James Dunlop on November 6, 1826, and later observed by John Herschel on January 2, 1837, subsequently cataloged as NGC 1991. [ 4 ]
The Large Magellanic Cloud was the host galaxy to a supernova , the brightest observed in over four centuries. Measurements with the Hubble Space Telescope, announced in 2006, suggest the Magellanic Clouds may be moving too fast to be long term companions of the Milky Way . [ 34 ]

It is around 160 to 165 thousand light year distance of the Large Magellanic Cloud and the loose grouping of stars is about 330 to 335 light years across. NGC 2001 is also listed as part of Lucke-Hodge stellar association 64, along with ANONb4 and e135.
N119 (formally known as LHA 120-N 119) is a spiral-shaped H II region in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Its dimensions are large, at 131 x 175 pc (430 × 570 ly). [2] It contains several luminous stars including S Doradus, LH41-1042, and LMC195-1. Its peculiar S-shaped structure is difficult to explain with classical models.
