The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope captured imagery of young star system ...
Our most massive satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), has been the center of a heated debate in the astrophysics community over the last few years. That debate centers on whether this ...
A spectacular new image from the NASA Hubble Space Telescope has revealed one of the most vibrant stellar nurseries ever ...
The temperature difference is not subtle. One side of the Milky Way’s outer halo runs noticeably hotter than the other, a mismatch that has puzzled astronomers since it was measured. That imbalance ...
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a sparkling cloudscape from one of the Milky Way's galactic neighbors, a dwarf galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud. Located 160,000 light-years ...
Two of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way — the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds — may have had a third companion, astronomers believe. Research published today describes how another “luminous” ...
Astronomers have combined hundreds of thousands of Spitzer Space Telescope images into a map of the whole Large Magellanic Cloud. They see features throughout the galaxy in such sharp detail that they ...
New research from a team at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics suggests that the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy neighboring the Milky Way, hosts a gravitational structure hundreds of ...
This is an image of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), one of the nearest galaxies to our Milky Way, as viewed by ESA’s Gaia satellite using information from the mission’s second data release. This ...
