Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan shared new insights into the motion of massive stars in a nearby galaxy that could completely transform our understanding of galaxy evolution and interactions.
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 ...
New observations of a pair of colliding spiral galaxies hint at what might be in store for the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy if and when they collide. The findings, described in July in the ...
The JWST field (cyan rectangle) shown on a MeerKAT radio continuum image centered at 1.28 GHz (I. Heywood et al. 2022). While most NTFs, such as the Sgr C NTF, run orthogonal to Galactic plane, the ...
The Milky Way could be coming to a sky near you. The billions of stars comprising our home galaxy should appear especially vibrant in late-May as the band arcs across the night sky. The reason has ...
Velocities of massive star candidates within the SMC shown as vectors. The colors of the arrows represent the direction of motion. Relative to the LMC, located at the bottom left of the image, most ...
The colors of the arrows represent the direction of motion. Relative to the LMC, located at the bottom left of the image, most red arrows show movement towards the LMC, whereas most light blue arrows ...
