What if the secrets of the early universe are written not in distant galaxies, but in the gas and dust of our galactic ...

The whole picture doesn’t become clear until you combine Webb data with Hubble data,” stated Rogier Windhorst, Regents Professor at Arizona State University, captioning a revolution in cosmic vision.

NASA’s Hubble and Webb telescopes observe explosive star formation in the Small Magellanic Cloud's NGC 460 and NGC 456 clusters.

The Small Magellanic Cloud is one of the Milky Way's closest neighbors, and it allows scientists to learn about star formation in other galaxies.

This stunning 527-megapixel composite reveals both visible and infrared views of young stars, ionized gas, and dust filaments ...

This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captures a small portion of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The SMC is a dwarf galaxy and one of the Milky Way’s nearest neighbors, lying ...

Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is a dwarf galaxy, the more petite twin of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Are two of our closest galaxy neighbours in space — the SMC lies about 200,000 light ...

The LMC and its neighbor, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), are so close to our galaxy that we can easily see individual stars and nebulas within them. In 1987, the last supernova to be seen with ...

Researchers have imaged the Small Magellanic Cloud in three times more detail than ever before. The new view shows the tiny galaxy is quickly losing hydrogen — and with it, its ability to form ...

The European Southern Observatory has released an enormous 43,223 x 38,236 pixel view of one of the Milky Way’s closest galactic neighbors – the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Due to its ...

The Small Magellanic Cloud has only one-third the mass of the larger dwarf galaxy, which has a mass equivalent to around 7 billion times that of the sun.

Astronomy professor Mia de los Reyes is leading the charge to have Milky Way's closest galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud, renamed, arguing that slave-owning ...
