A Galactic Eclipse: The Small Magellanic Cloud Is Forming Stars in Two Superimposed Systems

The structure and dynamics of the star-forming disk of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) have long confounded us. The SMC is widely used as a prototype for galactic physics at low metallicity, and yet we fundamentally lack an understanding of the structure of its interstellar medium (ISM). In this wo...
