00:00The Magellanic Clouds are two dwarf galaxies visible from the southern hemisphere, and they orbit the Milky Way.
00:09However, there is another celestial body called the Magellanic Bridge connecting the two, and experts now say that connecting point is letting the larger tear apart the smaller.
00:18Researchers have been monitoring some 7,000 stars in the small Magellanic Cloud, finding that some of them are moving towards the larger.
00:25This is an indicator of tidal disruption and a sign that the larger Magellanic Cloud is gravitationally ripping apart the smaller.
00:32Experts say this turns our understanding of galactic dynamics on its head.
00:35In the smaller Magellanic Cloud in particular, they found that the massive stars contained within don't rotate with the gas of the cloud, with experts saying that this likely means that the smaller's gas isn't rotating at all.
00:45That would mean it's back to the drawing board for astrophysicists with regards to mass estimates and interaction models.
00:51What's more, it indicates that the Milky Way may also play a part in their gravitational relationship.
00:56And this is big news, since the small Magellanic Cloud has a lot in common with early universe galaxies, providing unique data about stellar motion and cosmic evolution.
01:05What is that when the internet 761 markets YES jadi consistent in 11,000 Hey Jangan,wnie's the smallest.
01:08You got all that saying thatева that people otherwise n sitten can do without elektronicおい shit, the first one who surprised them to me in home.
01:10Not that they say the original tych arcs in the earlyprograms, that were not yet Khalilas.
01:11Their generation has no power in 사람이 that we were slightly different.
01:13That's right.
01:14You got it.
01:15It really just happened to me that I think there was a null right.
01:16It was a major thing.
01:17It was basically a Personnel where I talked too quickly before personalization was very hard, because of an pasado election.
01:18I said before the fact showed up after all election.
01:19I had got all theculoG Hannah��na's right.
01:21The next aisle is actually a bit seemedули�� 돼요 being here for a society.
