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

Some fast-moving stars within the Milky Way have been traced back to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). In a preprint paper ...

The Universe is full of dust, and a striking new image from the Hubble Space Telescope highlights just how important it is.

According to traditional wisdom, smaller galaxies such as the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud may have fewer opportunities to attract mass and merge with smaller systems, including other dwarf ...

The Small Magellanic Cloud holds some three billion stars, and the Large Cloud perhaps 30 billion. For another, the clouds don't look like the disheveled spheroidal dwarf galaxies that closely ...

LEDA 1313424, aptly nicknamed the Bullseye, is two and a half times the size of our Milky Way and has nine rings — six more than any other known galaxy. This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image ...

Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite of our Milky Way Galaxy, this region is a host to many burgeoning stars. N79 is a 1,630-light-year-wide region containing three distinct ...

Astronomers have made new discoveries about young star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), using the ... of massive star formation outside our galaxy. JWST observations have now ...

Globular cluster in Dorado: This 100 million-year-old globular cluster is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way and a birthplace for billions of stars.
