This agglomeration of stars, a globular cluster known as NGC 1850, is held together by the stars’ mutual gravity and resides in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy near the Milky Way.

While supermassive black holes are known to occupy the centers of large galaxies, finding one in a smaller satellite galaxy like the Magellanic Clouds adds complexity to existing models of black ...

Most Intense Nova Ever Detected Beyond the Milky Way A recurrent nova called LMCN 1968-12a, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud—a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way—has erupted again, and ...

The Tarantula Nebula is 161,000 light-years away in a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way known as the Large Magellanic Cloud. It apparently looks like a tarantula's next lined with silk.
