An analysis of star movements from the Gaia spacecraft reveals that the Small Magellanic Cloud — a satellite galaxy bound to the Milky Way — is being torn apart by its larger neighbor.

Led by Satoya Nakano and Kengo Tachihara, the team has discovered that the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a dwarf galaxy neighboring the Milky Way, may be getting torn apart by the gravitation pull of ...

This image shows the massive stars WR 25 and Tr16-244 in the Trumpler 16 cluster, within the Carina Nebula. WR 25 is the brightest, with Tr16-244 nearby, and a low-mass star to the left. This image ...

This was announced by Nagoya University. The galaxies in question are the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, both of which are less than 200,000 light years away from our home galaxy. A precise ...

As they watched those stars, researchers noticed that they appeared to be getting pulled apart by the Large Magellanic Cloud, or LMC, which itself neighbours the galaxy. “The stars in the SMC were ...
