Led by Satoya Nakano and Kengo Tachihara, the team has discovered that the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a dwarf galaxy neighboring the Milky Way, may be getting torn apart by the gravitation pull of ...

An analysis of star movements from the Gaia spacecraft reveals that the Small Magellanic Cloud — a satellite galaxy bound to the Milky Way — is being torn apart by its larger neighbor.

Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and Parkes 64-m telescope, an international team of astronomers has ...

Their findings suggest that the gravitational pull of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the SMC's larger companion, may be tearing the smaller one apart. This discovery reveals a new pattern in ...

As they watched those stars, researchers noticed that they appeared to be getting pulled apart by the Large Magellanic Cloud, or LMC, which itself neighbours the galaxy. “The stars in the SMC ...

NGC 2031: In the top left corner of this starry sight, the globular cluster NGC 2031 shines brilliantly in the constellation Mensa in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of our ...

This was announced by Nagoya University. The galaxies in question are the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, both of which are less than 200,000 light years away from our home galaxy. A precise ...
