"This could potentially change our understanding of the history of the three-body interaction between the two Magellanic Clouds and the Milky Way." ...

to explore supernova wreckage in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The supernova remnant in question is MC SNR J0519–6902, first discovered in 1981.

Their findings suggest that the gravitational pull of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the SMC's larger companion, may be tearing the smaller one apart. This discovery reveals a new pattern in ...

The remaining nine stars, however, appear to have come from the Large Magellanic Cloud. And together, they suggest ejection via the Hills Mechanism by an object that weighs around 600,000 solar ...

What you wouldn’t know from looking at it, is that it’s being torn apart by another satellite, also visible to the naked eye, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). In recent years, astronomers ...

This is due to the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is tearing apart the smaller galaxy. The team identified and measured a total of around 7000 individual stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud.

A star explodes in a dwarf galaxy known as the Large Magellanic Cloud that lies just beyond the Milky Way. The star, known in modern times as Sanduleak 69-202, is a blue supergiant 25 times more ...

Once the Large Magellanic Cloud collides with the Milky Way, its black hole will drift toward Sagittarius A*, our galaxy’s central black hole. Eventually, these two massive black holes will ...

We present flux-calibrated integrated spectra in the optical range (3700–6800 Å) obtained at Complejo Astronómico El Leoncito (CASLEO, Argentina) for a sample of 10 concentrated star clusters ...

Researchers believe the SMC is being pulled by the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The LMC is SMC’s much bigger companion. The team says this gravitational tug could be slowly tearing the SMC apart.
