In the vast universe, galaxies rotate in ways that don’t make sense if only visible matter is considered. For almost a ...

Meteor showers can be spectacular, but predicting when and where they’ll appear in the night sky has often been a challenge.

The galaxy next to ours might be getting torn apart, a study has suggested. The Small Magellanic Cloud, or SMC – a relatively ...

NASA and partners are building the first quantum gravity sensor for space, a breakthrough instrument that uses ultra-cold ...

A team at Nagoya University in Japan has revealed new insights into the motion of massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud ...

This image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the “mountains” and “valleys” formed at the edge of a nearby stellar nursery called NGC 3324, located in the northwest corner of the Carina Nebula.

The sum of the two layers is zero. So even though they create a strong gravitational pull, they technically don’t add any measurable mass. “The shells in my paper consist of a thin inner layer ...

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 ...
