Research recently conducted into the motions of the Milky Way and of our neighboring galaxies has brought to light some interesting details. According to the findings reported to this office, the galaxy of Sagittarius [which contains approximately one thousandth the mass of the Milky Way] has been invading our space, that is, the galaxy itself orbits through our galaxy, and has done so several times.

Once referred to as a nebulae, advances in cosmology has since corrected this mislabeling. Though there is no reason for concern, the fact that certain stars were not moving as others do within our galaxy, and the fact that our gravitational tide has not torn the smaller massed Sagittarian galaxy apart, suggests that this particular galaxy may contain a great deal of ‘dark matter’; If so, the possibility then exists that there are other galaxies that may also contain the ‘missing’ matter so often referred to as Dark Matter.

Research continues in this area and updates will be provided as they become available.
