Once the two galaxies are merged, the supermassive hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud – if black hole there is – will make its way to the galactic center, where it will eventually, after many more ...

Astronomers have found a supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This black hole is 600,000 times the mass of ...

Astronomers trace the striking pattern to an encounter between a big galaxy and a much smaller one some 50 million years ago.

In approximately four billion years, scientists predict that our Milky Way will crash into the Andromeda Galaxy—our closest galactic neighbor—but that will be a more complex collision than the ...
