Two colliding galaxies have been found to be reorganizing their dwarf satellites, potentially solving a major conundrum ...

Astronomers have detected the closest and brightest fast radio burst ever recorded, a dazzling signal from a galaxy just 130 ...

Galaxies, the grand entities of the universe, have fascinating and dynamic lives of their own. They form, evolve, and occasionally merge, creating stunning visual spectacles. Our very own galaxy, the ...

On 16 March 2025, the CHIME radio telescope in Canada recorded a one-off fast radio burst ( FRB) so powerful, astronomers ...

The SMC remains one of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way. This proximity allowed the research team to identify and track approximately 7,000 massive stars within the galaxy.

The galaxy created by this billion-year-long collision, called NGC 7727, is a tremendous and beautiful example of the long, drawn-out process that two galaxies undergo when they bump into each other.

The Large Magellanic Cloud, a close neighbor to the Milky Way, may house a giant black hole. It's the closest supermassive black hole outside of our galaxy.

A galaxy’s components, such as stars, gas and dust, emit or reflect many different wavelengths of light. Each wavelength corresponds to a color—and the new image sheds light on the Sculptor ...

The SMC remains one of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way. This proximity allowed the research team to identify and track approximately 7,000 massive stars within the galaxy.

But it turns out that this black hole only accelerated about half the stars. The other half got sped up in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that is the closest galaxy to our own.

But it turns out the rest came from our closest neighboring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. Han says this means that galaxy must contain a monster black hole that's about 600,000 times the ...
