Recent research suggests that the Large Magellanic Cloud may be making its first pass by the Milky Way, challenging previous theories about its orbital history.

A team of undergraduate students has identified one of the oldest stars in the Universe, SDSS J0715-7334, which migrated to the Milky Way from the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, astronomers have unveiled the largest image of the Milky Way's central region, revealing intricate structures and chemistry that could illuminate the origins of life in our galaxy.
