Canis Major Dwarf

The closest known galaxy to the Milky Way, Canis Major Dwarf is being slowly consumed — tidal forces have stretched its stars into a stream that wraps around the galactic disk. In a billion years, it will be fully absorbed.

Tidal Stream

★ Tidal Arc Star · CLASS K

The Tidal Arc system sits at the leading edge of Canis Major's tidal stream — the long arc of stars being pulled into the Milky Way. Its star is gravitationally stable for the time being, but the debris field surrounding the system suggests several smaller bodies were ejected during a recent (cosmically speaking) gravitational disruption.
