Astronomers estimate that the Milky Way contains about 1,000 HVSs, and new research shows that some of these originate in the Milky Way's satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).

The yellow crosses mark previously identified supernova remnants. The Large Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy so close to the Milky Way that it is visible to the naked eye from Earth's Southern ...

including the spiral galaxy NGC 300, which is similar in mass to the Large Magellanic Cloud. The observations were made as part of the DECam Local Volume Survey, or DELVE, and revealed ...

Prior to its gambol with the Milky Way, the Large Magellanic Cloud may even have been a classic spiral like the Triangulum galaxy, M33, which looks imposing but is actually not much more massive ...

The Large Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy situated about 160,000 light-years away in the constellations Dorado and Mensa. Despite being only 10%–20% as massive as the Milky Way galaxy ...
