The SMC remains one of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way. This proximity allowed the research team to identify and track approximately 7,000 massive stars within the galaxy.

Unusually fast-moving gas clouds near a nearby galaxy suggest they may have come from outside the galaxy. Scientists have ...

A collision between the Milky Way and neighboring galaxy Andromeda is far from a sure thing; in fact, it could hinge on the flip of a cosmic coin.

New research suggests that the satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, located around 199,000 light-years from Earth, seems to have been hiding a secret: It's actually two galaxies, one behind the other.

Stargazers may catch a cosmic light show this Fourth of July weekend when the Milky Way appears in the night sky across the ...

The Large Magellanic Cloud, a close neighbor to the Milky Way, may house a giant black hole. It's the closest supermassive black hole outside of our galaxy.

Astronomers have uncovered shocking evidence that one of the closest galaxies to our own is being torn to shreds by its neighbor. Located around 200,000 light-years from Earth, ...

As one of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way, about 210,000 light years away according to NASA, the SMC allowed the research team to identify and track roughly 7,000 massive stars within it.
