Hubble’s dazzling new image reveals colorful gas and dust clouds in the LMC. Using five filters, it maps stellar nurseries ...

The Milky Way may merge with the Large Magellanic Cloud in 2 billion years, not Andromeda, contrary to previous findings.

New research shows that there's a 50% chance that the Milky Way and its nearest major galactic neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy, will converge within the next 10 billion years. Previous analyses have ...

This technique allows us to see details that are invisible to us, such as hot structures, active star-forming regions, or clouds of gas and dust.

On May 20, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope sent its first image to Earth. This photo turned out to be 50% sharper than ...

Milky Way viewing is at its best right now, especially if you’re in the southern hemisphere. Here's what to look out for, ...

The 1987 supernova (SN 1987A) occurred in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), not the Milky Way. The LMC is a smaller satellite of the Milky Way, but astronomers still consider it to be outside our ...

Astronomers now believe the Milky Way’s “inevitable” collision with a neighboring galaxy is much less likely than originally ...

seems to confirm that the natural dynamical evolution of GCs plays a role in shaping the age-core radius distributions observed in the Large Magellanic Cloud. "The difference in the values of the ...

Astronomers estimate that the Milky Way contains about 1,000 HVSs, and new research shows that some of these originate in the Milky Way's satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).
