What appears to be a single, strangely shaped galaxy is actually two galaxies far ... to otherwise see," ESA explained. It's a clever way to combine the capability of the most powerful space ...

In the vast cosmic neighborhood of our Milky Way, two dwarf galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC), have long captured the attention of astronomers. These celestial neighbors, ...

A recent study has unveiled that the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, two galaxies in close proximity to the Milky Way, are exhibiting unexpected behaviors that suggest a dramatic disruption.

Using two of Webb’s instruments — MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) and NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) — researchers conducted what they called a “post-mortem” of the star system, located about ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists think the two galaxies passed through each other, giving a preview of the inevitable collision between the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies. Our galaxy is predicted to collide with ...

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 ...

The two stars, gravitationally bound to each other in what is called a binary system, are located in our Milky Way galaxy about 160 light-years from Earth - relatively close in cosmic terms.
