The Magellanic Stream is a stream of high-velocity clouds of gas extending from the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds over 100° through the Galactic south pole of the Milky Way. The stream contains a gaseous feature dubbed the leading arm.[1] The stream was sighted in 1965 and its relation to the Magellanic Clouds was established in 1974.
