Using the Hubble Space Telescope and an array of other instruments, astronomers have probed supernova wreckage in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the galaxy next door.

A surprisingly well-formed spiral galaxy has been spotted just a billion years after the Big Bang, challenging long-held ...

Using Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 instrument, astronomers captured this recent up-close view of the SMC, full of twinkling stars. The image features a small region of the SMC near the center of NGC ...

A team of UNSW Sydney researchers has unlocked the "sounds" of stars to better understand their age, mass, and evolutionary ...

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 ...

The Webb telescope has spotted exoplanets circling white dwarf stars, proving that planets can survive their star’s violent ...

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.

After 11 years mapping the Milky Way, the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope has retired. Scientists hailed it as "the discovery machine of the decade." ...

After more than a decade of mapping the stars, the European spacecraft was ... positions and movements of celestial objects in our Milky Way and beyond. It is difficult to capture the breadth ...

of the Milky Way. The CMZ, which contains tens of millions of solar masses of gas at the heart of the galaxy, produces far fewer stars than expected. While previous studies linked this anomaly to ...
