A Black Hole May Be Firing Fast Stars At Us From The Large Magellanic Cloud The Milky Way might be a cosmic bully, but this is one galaxy that’s not going down quietly.

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.

Fast-moving stars in the Milky Way indicate there could be a supermassive black hole in the neighboring Large Magellanic Cloud—something that has never been detected in a smaller galaxy.

"The Large Magellanic Cloud is one of the best-studied galaxies, yet this supermassive black hole's existence was only inferred indirectly by tracing the origins of fast-moving stars.

But what of smaller astronomical bodies, like the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf satellite galaxy that is expected to collide with the Milky Way in 2.4 billion years? Nobody is quite sure whether ...

Study Reveals Evidence of Supermassive Black Hole Inside Nearby Galaxy The Large Magellanic Cloud is located about 160,000 light-years from Earth, making it among the closest galaxies to the Milky ...

A hidden monster black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud fired runaway stars at the Milky Way at millions of miles per hour.

Fast-moving stars in the Milky Way received a powerful kick from the Large Magellanic Cloud — and a central black hole might be the culprit.
