NASA's most powerful telescope has once again left scientists scratching their heads after challenging their understanding of ...

An international team led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has discovered the most distant spiral galaxy candidate known ...

Despite decades of searching for this signal, astronomers have yet to find it. The problem is that our Earth is too noisy, making it nearly impossible to capture this whisper. The solution is to go to ...

In recent years, astronomers have been able to study the motion of the stars in the galaxy with outstanding precision. And there’s certainly something odd going on with the SMC. A different group ...

The Webb telescope — a scientific collaboration between NASA, ESA, and the Canadian Space Agency — is designed to peer into ...

A team has revealed new insights into the motion of massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a small galaxy neighboring the Milky Way. Their findings suggest that the gravitational pull of ...

The SMC’s low metallicity and weak gravitational structure make it a compelling analogue for the earliest galaxies in the ...

The Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud are at war, with the larger of these dwarf galaxies ripping the other ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan were surprised by their study results, which they say are "indisputable." ...

Astronomers thought they’d made a mistake when stars in a nearby galaxy didn’t seem to rotate — but the unusual pattern ...

Astronomers have discovered that the Small Magellanic Cloud, a nearby dwarf galaxy, is being torn apart by the gravitational ...
