which hints at a past incident with the Milky Way in which our galaxy stripped the LMC of some of its material. Researchers used observations of the LMC from Hubble's ultraviolet vision.

These objects were actually the Andromeda and Messier 33 galaxies, the closest large galaxies to our Milky Way. Today, up to ...

In a new study, a team of astrophysicists led by CU Boulder has set out to unravel the mysteries of UFOs—not the alien ...

Hubble captures LMC's interaction with the Milky Way’s halo. Surprising findings show LMC’s compact gas halo. Ram-pressure ...

"But even with this catastrophic interaction with the Milky Way, the LMC is able to retain 10 percent of its halo because of its high mass." Hubble's ultraviolet detection capabilities made it the ...

A story of survival is unfolding at the outer reaches of our galaxy, and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is witnessing the saga ...

Hubble Space Telescope has revealed the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) losing its gas halo due to a close encounter with the Milky Way. The LMC’s halo, now just 50,000 light-years wide, has been reduced ...

A brand new study based on Hubble Space Telescope observations has thrown weight behind our galaxy's reputation as a bully, showing that the size of the LMC's halo is around ten times smaller than ...
