Is it possible to reach these?

I was zooming out on my map screen today and noticed these two gas clusters (star systems). There are shown below the spiral galaxy in my screen shot. Is it possible to reach these?

 
Those are distant galaxies that can be reached through some form of star gate in a distant future update! ( I hope!!!! )

I think the only real way to answer the question is to try to find out.

Realistically speaking, I believe those are the two Magellanic Clouds. They are companion galaxies that orbit the Milky Way. The Large Magellanic Cloud in particular has been classified as a disrupted barred spiral galaxy. Both of them have had many of their stars cannibalized by the Milky Way, although the LMC is a place of accelerated star formation. In reality it is probable that there might be enough main sequence stars spread out between the LMC and the Milky Way that one could travel there. Likely it would take a lot of jumponium.

In the game, I'm pretty certain that the Magellanic Clouds are beyond reach simply because it's not in the game to allow us to get there. I would really love it if that changed in the future, but there's so much to explore in the Milky Way that I'm not going to have headaches about it.

Actually, these are the Magellanic Clouds... The others are simply distant galaxies..

The spinning top one, was going to be my 1st explorers trip destination. However: I then realised that we just can't get there and that was when I understood; this game, is just not big enough, for playing, my way.
