Hubble’s crystal-clear look at NGC 1786—an ancient globular cluster tucked inside the Large Magellanic Cloud—pulls us 160,000 ...

NGC 1786’s mixed-age stars suggest globular clusters aren’t one-generation wonders, offering fresh clues to galaxy formation far beyond the Milky Way.

The mighty James Webb and Hubble space telescopes united to reveal stars being born inside the Small Magellanic Cloud, which orbits the Milky Way.

New data show a 50% chance the Milky Way won't collide with Andromeda. A merger with the Large Magellanic Cloud is far more likely.

The Milky Way may merge with the Large Magellanic Cloud in 2 billion years, not Andromeda, contrary to previous findings.

The most recent nearby supernova, SN 1987A, was in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Milky Way’s youngest known supernova is called G1.9+0.3.

This included the effect of the Milky Way's most massive satellite, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and, importantly, for the first time, including uncertainties in the observables.

Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy with a disk of stars spanning more than 100,000 light-years. Check out these 7 stunning photos of Milky Way galaxy captured by NASA.

The Magellanic Siblings: Clues to Galactic History The LMC is not alone in its journey around the Milky Way. Alongside it is the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), another satellite galaxy that can be ...

Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way which is around 160,000 light-years away, this nebula consists of dust and gas that glows in different colors which ...

The Small Magellanic Cloud is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, located 200 000 light-years away in the constellation Tucana.
