Fast-moving stars zooming through our galaxy might have been slingshotted from a black hole inside the neighbouring Large ...

Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) were first theorized to exist in the late 1980s. In 2005, the first discoveries were confirmed.

The stars were observed for other FUSE programs and were not selected for large reddening. Thus, uncertainties in the derived extinction curves depend on the photometric data. In the case of strongly ...

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 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 ...

Some fast-moving stars within the Milky Way have been traced back to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). In a preprint paper ...

The Universe is full of dust, and a striking new image from the Hubble Space Telescope highlights just how important it is.

These remnants exist in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. Scientists say this region is perfect for studying stellar explosions in detail. Astronomers observed the ...

A hidden giant may be on a slow journey towards our galaxy. Scientists have detected signs of a massive, invisible object within the Large Magellanic Cloud. Weighing around 600,000 times the Sun ...

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 ...
