Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has been an invaluable research tool for scientists looking to expand our intergalactic understanding. The telescope is expected to endure until the 2030s.<\/p>\n

Data recently revealed by the telescope indicates that galactic shields called coronas, which are usually difficult to detect, protect dwarf galaxies from the Milky Way\u2019s gravitational pull.<\/p>\n

Named after the explorer Ferdinand Magellan, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) are two satellite dwarf galaxies of the Milky Way making up part of what\u2019s known as the Local Group \u2013 so named for its proximity to our own Milky Way.<\/p>\n

Other than their proximity to Earth, the LMC and SMC are known for being sites where stars form, a fact that scientists have been scratching their heads over, because the much more massive Milky Way has been stripping star-forming gas from the two galaxies, leaving a visible trail in their wake.<\/p>\n

Assistant professor Dhanesh Krisnharao of Colorado College explained the quandary in a NASA-released statement: \u201cA lot of people were struggling to explain how these streams of material could be there. If this gas was removed from these galaxies, how are they still forming stars?\u201d<\/p>\n

Researchers used spectroscopic observations of ultraviolet light from quasars, which are star-like extragalactic objects that may emit radio waves, to detect and map the protective halo of gas surrounding the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, which allows the clouds to retain enough star-forming gas.<\/p>\n

These cocoons, called coronas, have been spotted near other galaxies but never before has one been seen in so much detail, or so close to the Milky Way. According to the team\u2019s reasoning, the corona was likely visible due to the \u201cdistorting\u201d effect it has on light from quasars shining beyond it.<\/p>\n

The team believes galactic coronas like the one shielding the Magellanic Clouds are formed from \u201cprimordial clouds of gas that undergo gravitational collapse\u201d to form galaxies. These clouds allow formations like the Magellanic Clouds to continue forming stars.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything that tries to pass into the galaxy has to pass through this material first, so it can absorb some of that impact,\u201d he said. \u201cIn addition, the corona is the first material that can be extracted. While giving up a little bit of the corona, you\u2019re protecting the gas that\u2019s inside the galaxy itself and able to form new stars.\u201d<\/p>\n
