In the grand puzzle of the cosmos, one question continues to defy easy answers: how fast is the universe expanding?

The Small and Large Magellanic Clouds are well researched due to their proximity. The neighboring galaxies of our Milky Way still have surprises in store.

In recent years, astronomers have been able to study the motion of the stars in the galaxy with outstanding precision. And there’s certainly something odd going on with the SMC. A different group ...
