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

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

The Milky Way can be seen as something of a bully, having devoured many smaller galaxies to achieve its vast mass, and ...

Astronomers discover two new supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud, providing insights into stellar explosions and their role in shaping galaxy evolution.

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

A Milky Way collision with a supermassive black hole might be closer than we thought. Hidden deep in the Large Magellanic ...

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

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

As the most intense star-forming region in the Local Group, 30 Doradus is of particular importance to astronomers.

Some fast-moving stars within the Milky Way have been traced back to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). In a preprint paper that has not yet completed peer review, the astronomers who demonstrated ...

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).

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