Astronomers have detected the brightest one-off fast radio burst (FRB) flash ever recorded, and for the first time, they’ve traced its origin with remarkable precision. The discovery, detailed in a ...

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 ...

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 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 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.

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 ...

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.
