One of Milky Way's neighbors is still reeling from a collision that sent its stars into chaos
Astronomers trace the Small Magellanic Cloud’s unusual stellar motions to a past cosmic encounter.
A nearby galaxy is behaving strangely—and now scientists know why. The Small Magellanic Cloud’s stars move in chaotic ...
Astronomers have tracked a powerful blast of radiation back to its source, finding a neutron star collision within colliding galaxies.
GRB 230906A, a short gamma-ray burst first detected in 2023, points to a faint galaxy embedded within a long stream of torn ...
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), one of the Milky Way's closest galactic neighbors, is undergoing a transformation visible from the southern hemisphere. This change is due ...
It turns out that looming collision between our Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies might not happen after all. Astronomers reported Monday that the probability of the two spiral galaxies colliding is ...
A fleet of NASA missions has likely uncovered a collision between two ultradense stars in a tiny galaxy buried in a huge stream of gas. Astronomers have never seen this type of explosive event in an ...
A recently detected flash of energy appears to have emanated from the wreckage of colliding galaxies, according to an international team of astronomers led by Penn State scientists. The burst, known ...
Billions of light years away in a remote part of the universe, two neutron stars – the ultradense remnants of dead stars – collided. The catastropic cosmic event sent light and particles, including a ...
The first time I heard about galaxies without dark matter, I was sitting in my very first graduate class at the University of São Paulo. A team had found a small, strange galaxy that appeared to ...
