The mighty James Webb and Hubble space telescopes united to reveal stars being born inside the Small Magellanic Cloud, which ...

Researchers have imaged the Small Magellanic Cloud in three times more detail than ever before. The new view shows the tiny galaxy is quickly losing hydrogen — and with it, its ability to form ...

This image is just a small part of the SMC. “The Small Magellanic Cloud contains hundreds of millions of stars, but this image focuses on just a small fraction of them,” Hubble scientists write.

A joint study using NASA’s NuSTAR and NICER telescopes has shed new light on RX J0032.9-7348, an X-ray pulsar in the Small Magellanic Cloud first identified 30 years ago. The pulsar exhibited a ...

The ESA released the image on Tuesday. The two small patches of brown spots are the Large Megellanic Cloud (160,000 light-years away) and the Small Magellanic Cloud (200,000 light-years away).

The European Southern Observatory has released an enormous 43,223 x 38,236 pixel view of one of the Milky Way’s closest galactic neighbors – the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Due to its ...

ESA’s Herschel space observatory and NASA’s Spitzer space telescope joined forces to map out the temperatures of the Small Magellanic Cloud from a chilly -260°C to a relatively-warm -150°C.

The renaming effort for the Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud is being led by Dr. Mia de los Reyes, an assistant professor of astronomy at Amherst College in Massachusetts, who ...

To the naked eye, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) looks like an impressive smudge in southern skies. That smudge, however, is a small galaxy 200,000 light-years away containing millions of stars ...

The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is one of the Milky Way's closest galactic neighbors. In fact, it was so bright that many navigators used this object to make their way across the oceans.

Astronomers have taken a dramatic new image of NGC 346, the brightest star-forming region in our neighboring galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud, 210,000 light-years away towards the constellation ...
