What appears most prominently is the Galactic plane and the Galactic bulge. As you can see, the plane is cut by dark dust lanes, clouds and several dusty regions. You can clearly see the 2 Magellanic Clouds (note the prominent bar and incipient spiral structure of the Large Cloud). Near the Small Magellanic Cloud is the globular cluster 47 Tucanae. Cutting almost north-south through one side of the bulge is the dwarf Sagittarius Galaxy which, along with the Clouds, is a Milky Way's satellite Galaxy.
