They are rich in gas and young stars, making them ideal subjects for studying galaxy evolution. Connected by the Magellanic Bridge, a stream of gas, these galaxies are experiencing tidal forces from ...

two galaxies in close proximity to the Milky Way, are exhibiting unexpected behaviors that suggest a dramatic disruption. Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan have reported that the smaller ...

Led by Satoya Nakano and Kengo Tachihara, the team has discovered that the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a dwarf galaxy neighboring the Milky Way, may be getting torn apart by the gravitation pull ...

The SMC and LMC are part of a group of galaxies gravitationally bound to the Milky Way. Both are expected to eventually merge with our galaxy in a few billion years. However, current evidence ...

The galaxy next to ours might be getting torn apart ... from – but the SMC’s stars do not appear to be moving in that way, suggesting that the gas itself is not rotating as expected.

In fact, the scientists believe that there may be an entire network of tunnels connecting to other bubbles throughout the galaxy ... A 3D map of the Milky Way’s Local Hot Bubble (LHB) created ...

Astronomers using ALMA have discovered a new type of long, narrow “slim filaments” in the Milky Way’s central molecular zone, revealing surprising details about shock-induced material circulation near ...

If our galaxy lies inside such a void ... The Local Group, which includes the Milky Way, has a peculiar velocity of about 627 kilometers per second. In the νHDM model, this value fits nicely ...
