Closest Galaxy Discovered



So it turns out that another galaxy is COLLIDING WITH OUR OWN GALAXY at this very moment!



Quote:
An international team of astronomers from France, Italy, the UK and Australia has found a previously unknown galaxy colliding with our own Milky Way. This newly-discovered galaxy takes the record for the nearest galaxy to the centre of the Milky Way. Called the Canis Major dwarf galaxy after the constellation in which it lies, it is about 25000 light years away from thesolar system and 42000 light years from the centre of the Milky Way. This i closer than the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy, discovered in 1994, which is also colliding with the Milky Way. The discovery shows that the Milky Way is building up its own disk by absorbing small satellite galaxies. The research is to be published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society within the next few weeks.

The Milky Way is badass. It eats other galaxies for lunch.

It's arrogant imperialistic acts such as this that makes our galaxy a pariah among civilized galaxies. We act unilaterally and with impunity, and get all surprised when other small galaxies lash out against us the only way they can, with their black holes of death. Sure, we got a loose coalition of similar-minded galaxies such as the Magellanic Cloud to join forces with us, but they are all just small insignificant galaxies that are simply afraid we might consume them too.

The galactic chickens will one day come home to roost!
