A Milky Way collision with a supermassive black hole might be closer than we thought. Hidden deep in the Large Magellanic Cloud dwarf galaxy that orbits the Milky Way on an ever-closing loop ...

A team of Harvard astrophysicists discovered a supermassive black hole at the center of the Large Magellanic Cloud, the Milky Way’s closest galactic neighbor. The research, published in January ...

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.

“The Large Magellanic Cloud, given its mass and structure, is totally expected to have a supermassive black hole of this mass. We just needed to find the evidence for it,” Mr Han said.

If confirmed, this would make the Large Magellanic Cloud one of the smallest galaxies known to host a supermassive black hole. It suggests the formation of supermassive black holes must be more common ...

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.

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. Skip to content Introducing the all-new Astronomy.com ...

Somewhere in there might be a surprisingly large supermassive black hole, and it's giving fast stars a ticket to anywhere. Image Credit: AURORA Tomasz Zywczak/Shutterstock.com DOWNLOAD PDF VERSION ...

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 ...
