The nearby Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy of our own Milky Way, harbors a heretofore unconfirmed supermassive black hole.  A new paper confirms the detection.

Astronomers have uncovered a baffling cosmic anomaly — a supermassive black hole in galaxy NGC 5084 that appears to be completely tilted relative to its galaxy’s structure. This discovery, hidden for years in archival data,

The Large Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy residing near our Milky Way, visible to the naked eye as a luminous patch of light from Earth's southern hemisphere and named after Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan,

The researchers propose that this ejection resulted from the collision of two galaxies, causing their central black holes to merge into a larger one.

Astronomers have discovered strong evidence for the closest supermassive black hole outside of the Milky Way galaxy. This giant black hole is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, one of the nearest galactic neighbors to our own.

Astronomers say they've discovered one of the most masssive black holes ever discovered in the Cosmic Horseshoe.

In 2007, astronomers discovered the Cosmic Horseshoe, a gravitationally lensed system of galaxies about five-and-a-half billion light-years away.
