The Andromeda galaxy anomaly resolved

The expansion of the Universe, discovered nearly a century ago by Edwin Hubble, shows that galaxies are moving away from us faster the more distant they are. Yet, our nearest neighbor, the ...
Astronomers have uncovered shocking evidence that one of the closest galaxies to our own is being torn to shreds by its neighbor. Located around 200,000 light-years from Earth, the Small Magellanic ...
Inverclyde astronomy expert Stephen McAllister explains how he went about capturing the Andromeda galaxy on camera.
Velocities of massive star candidates within the SMC shown as vectors. The colors of the arrows represent the direction of motion. Relative to the LMC, located at the bottom left of the image, most ...
The colors of the arrows represent the direction of motion. Relative to the LMC, located at the bottom left of the image, most red arrows show movement towards the LMC, whereas most light blue arrows ...
