If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, you can see the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with your naked eye. It’s a dwarf galaxy satellite of the Milky Way looking fuzzy in the sky. What you wouldn’t know ...

A team of researchers at Nagoya University has discovered evidence that the Small Magellanic Cloud is potentially being torn apart by gravitational forces from its larger companion.

"This could potentially change our understanding of the history of the three-body interaction between the two Magellanic ...

An analysis of star movements from the Gaia spacecraft reveals that the Small Magellanic Cloud — a satellite galaxy bound to ...

Scientists have found that our nearest galaxy is undergoing 'gradual destruction' and could change everything that we know ...

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

The Magellanic Clouds are two dwarf galaxies visible from the Southern Hemisphere, and they orbit the Milky Way. However, there is another celestial body called the Magellanic Bridge connecting the ...

Scientists made the claim after analysing the data collected by the European Space Agency's recently retired Gaia spacecraft.

This new image, released on April 4, 2025, showcases the dazzling young star cluster NGC 346. Although both the James Webb ...

They are rich in gas and young stars, making them ideal subjects for studying galaxy evolution. Connected by the Magellanic Bridge, a stream of gas, these galaxies are experiencing tidal forces from ...

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 ...
