Using the speeds of the stars and the relative number of ones ejected by the LMC and Milky Way supermassive black holes, the team determined that the mass of the LMC black hole is about 600,000 ...

Ancient stars located surprisingly near to our sun formed less than a billion years after the Big Bang — suggesting part of the Milky Way is much older than previously thought, a study has found.

Scientists have discovered an extremely rare pair of stars only around 150 light years away in the Milky Way galaxy that will collide and explode in 23 billion years. The blast—were we around to ...

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.

Webb first observed the region called Sagittarius C in 2023. Now researchers are now using those observations to study star formation in the wider area around the center of the Milky Way, known as the ...

Astronomers have had a rare glimpse into the heart of the Milky Way thanks to an errant star expelled from the galactic centre. At the middle of our galaxy is a supermassive black hole ...
