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...

Astrophotographer Captures Milky Way Over Easter Island's Moai During Eclipse
Astrophotographer Josh Dury captured the vibrant Milky Way over Easter Island’s ancient Moai statues during his trip to witness an annular eclipse. His photograph, titled Aringa Ora O Te Tupuna, pays homage to the island’s ancestral legacy and culture. Recognised by NASA as an Astronomy Photo of the Day, this image highlights the island's dark ...

NASA Citizen Scientists Discover Mysterious Object Moving out of Milky Way at an Extremely High Speed
On August 15, 2024, NASA’s Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project, featuring the contributions of dedicated citizen scientists, made a groundbreaking discovery: an object moving at an astonishing speed of 1 million miles per hour, which will soon escape the gravitational pull of the Milky Way. This hypervelocity object, catalogued as CWISE J124909.08+...
