Hubble Telescope Reveals Milky Way Blowing Gas off LMC Galaxy in Close Encounter
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured an extraordinary phenomenon as the Milky Way galaxy exerts ram pressure on the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), stripping away most of its gas halo. The interaction, which occurs as LMC passes near the Milky Way, has led to the loss of significant mass from the dwarf galaxy. Despite this, LMC retains enough...

NASA’s Hubble Reveals Impact of Milky Way’s Gravitational Force on Large Magellanic Cloud
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope recently observed the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) interacting with the Milky Way’s halo. Researchers found that the LMC’s gas halo has been significantly reduced, likely due to ram-pressure stripping. Despite this, the LMC retains enough gas to continue star formation. Future studies will focus on exploring othe...

Milky Way and Andromedia Fated Collision Might Not Happen, Reveals New Study
Recent research has cast doubt on the certainty of the Milky Way-Andromeda galaxy collision, suggesting the event may not be as inevitable as once thought. Traditionally, astronomers have predicted that our galaxy would merge with Andromeda within the next 5 billion years, creating a new elliptical galaxy often referred to as "Milkomeda." However, ...

NASA's James Webb Telescope Captures "Giant Space Tarantula" In Stunning New Image
A "giant space tarantula" has been caught by NASA's powerful James Webb Telescope. At 161,000 light years away from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy, the Tarantula Nebula is the nickname for 30 Doradus.

Researchers Estimate Size of Largest Known Star Through Sharpest Optical Image Ever Captured
R136a1, a massive star with a mass around 150 or 200 times the Sun, has been observed in great detail, along with other stars in the cluster. The images from Gemini South's Zorro instrument have provided scientists with the clearest images of the star so far, which suggest it may not be as massive as previously thought.

Scientists Use Retired Telescopes to Capture Intricate Images of Cosmic Dust and Clouds
Scientists have captured intricate details of cosmic dust and clouds in space, including the Andromeda galaxy (M31), Triangulum galaxy (M33), and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. In order to create images of the cosmic dust and clouds, researchers have relied on data from various retired missions such as the using the European Space Agency (E...

Giant Mysterious Ring Near Milky Way Galaxy Could Be an Intergalactic Supernova Remnant
The international team of experts found a mysterious circular ring that is believed to be the remains of an exploded star. This giant ring-shaped phenomenon near our neighbouring galaxy is being called a "rogue" supernova remnant. Named J0624–6948, it is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Captures Interstellar Image With Unprecedented Clarity
NASA's James Webb space telescope has delivered an image of a portion of the sky that was previously captured by the now retired Spitzer space telescope. The latest image is a lot sharper than the archival shot.

'Undersea World' in Space: NASA Shares Spectacular Image of Cosmic Reef From 160,000 Light-Years Away
NASA has shared a stunning image of an “undersea world” from deep space. The image is of the Cosmic Reef and it comprises two different nebulae. The first nebula, with a hue of red and blue against a black backdrop dotted with sparkling lights, is a vast star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.

Milky Way's Fastest Stars Are 'Runaways' From Another Galaxy: Study
These fast-moving stars, known as hypervelocity stars, were able to escape their original home when the explosion of one star in a binary system caused the other to fly off.
