Where Do We Come From Since We're Not From Here

Scientist from the University of Massachusetts announced that the Sun, the Moon, our planet and its siblings, were not born into the familiar band of stars known as the Milky Way galaxy. It seems we actually belong to a strange formation with the unfamiliar name of the Sagittarius Dwarf galaxy.

Using volumes of data from the Two-Micron All Sky Survey, a major project to survey the sky in infrared light, the astronomers are answering questions that have baffled scientists for decades and proving that our own Milky Way is consuming one of its neighbors in a dramatic display of ongoing galactic cannibalism.
