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

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

Once the two galaxies are merged, the supermassive hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud – if black hole there is – will make ...

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

Astronomers detect signs of a massive, invisible black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which may collide with the Milky ...

"These two supernova remnants are helping us to better understand the dynamics of our home galaxy’s neighborhood," ...

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

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.

Astronomers have found a supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This black hole is 600,000 times the mass of ...

Lobster-eye satellite Einstein Probe captured the X-ray flash from a very elusive celestial pair. The discovery opens a new ...

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.
