The strange behavior of hypervelocity stars suggests a nearby dwarf galaxy must contain a supermassive black hole. If so, a ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has taken a look at the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a nearby dwarf galaxy, being stripped of its gas by the far more massive Milky Way.

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

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.

After a blue dwarf galaxy shot through it like an arrow, the large Bullseye now has nine rings—six more than any other galaxy ...

According to traditional wisdom, smaller galaxies such as the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud may have ... imaging survey of 11 dwarf galaxies, including the spiral galaxy NGC 300, which is similar ...

For another, the clouds don't look like the disheveled spheroidal dwarf galaxies ... the Large Magellanic Cloud may even have been a classic spiral like the Triangulum galaxy, M33, which looks ...

The best view modern astronomers have ever had of a supernova was in 1987 when a massive star exploded in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a dwarf galaxy that orbits our Milky Way galaxy.

LEDA 1313424, aptly nicknamed the Bullseye, is two and a half times the size of our Milky Way and has nine rings — six more than any other known galaxy. This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image ...

New observations challenge this view, suggesting that even dwarf galaxies ... including the spiral galaxy NGC 300, which is similar in mass to the Large Magellanic Cloud. The observations were ...
