A few prehistoric Stars in Milky Way Were Born Elsewhere

Our Milky Way galaxy snatched up lots of its most prehistoric stars as of smaller galaxies that frayed each other in aggressive collisions, new studies propose. 


By means of new supercomputer simulations, researchers establish that some ancient Milky Way stars did not structure natively with the rest of the galaxy regarding 10 billion years ago. As an alternative, they are in reality the leftovers from other galaxies that collided about 5 billion years ago.

Researches said "These stars structure some of the inhabitants in the Milky Way's stellar halo, which extends above and below the spiral galaxy's major disk."
