We're adopted....

Quick! What galaxy are you from?

Bet most of you said The Milky Way Galaxy, right? Well, apparently, that's where you'd be wrong. It turns out that we actually belong to the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy, which is currently being ripped apart and joining the Milky Way. This goes toward explaining why the Milky Way is seen in the sky at an angle.

Interesting stuff.
