Petit Nuage de Magellan
In 2018, research confirmed that the chemical composition of the gas in the Magellanic Stream Leading Arm more closely resembles the composition of the Small Magellanic Cloud, rather than the Large Magellanic Cloud, by looking at light from background quasars shining through the Stream and analysing the spectrum of light that is either absorbed by, or let through it. This analysis confirmed that the gas most likely originated from the Small Magellanic Cloud, thereby indicating that the Large Magellanic Cloud is 'winning' in the gravity tug of both Clouds working on the Magellanic Stream.
