The Large Magellanic Cloud, a close neighbor to the Milky Way, may house a giant black hole. It's the closest supermassive black hole outside of our galaxy.

Some fast-moving stars within the Milky Way have been traced back to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). In a preprint paper that has not yet completed peer review, the astronomers who demonstrated ...

Fast-moving stars in the Milky Way indicate there could be a supermassive black hole in the neighboring Large Magellanic Cloud—something that has never been detected in a smaller galaxy.

But what of smaller astronomical bodies, like the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf satellite galaxy that is expected to collide with the Milky Way in 2.4 billion years? Nobody is quite sure whether ...

"The Large Magellanic Cloud is one of the best-studied galaxies, yet this supermassive black hole's existence was only inferred indirectly by tracing the origins of fast-moving stars.

Study Reveals Evidence of Supermassive Black Hole Inside Nearby Galaxy The Large Magellanic Cloud is located about 160,000 light-years from Earth, making it among the closest galaxies to the Milky ...

A supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) may be the source of nine stars zooming through our galaxy – a surprising hint that dwarf galaxies can host large black holes.

Bending light: Artist's impression of a microlensing event caused by a black hole observed from Earth toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The light of a background star located in the LMC is bent ...

Fast-moving stars in the Milky Way received a powerful kick from the Large Magellanic Cloud — and a central black hole might be the culprit.

A Black Hole May Be Firing Fast Stars At Us From The Large Magellanic Cloud The Milky Way might be a cosmic bully, but this is one galaxy that’s not going down quietly.
