Our Milky Way galaxy gobbled up a smaller galaxy about 11.8 billion years ago, scientists find
Scientists observing clusters of stars congregated near the Milky Way's centre have discovered evidence that our galaxy swallowed a smaller galaxy roughly 11.8 billion years ago, when the universe was less than 15 per cent of its current age.

The Hubble Space Telescope, operated by NASA, provided undeniable evidence of a monumental galactic collision that occurred approximately 11.8 billion years ago, thus redefining the understanding of the early stage of formation of the Milky Way. This innovative discovery not only advances in 1.8 billion years the known record of the great mergers that contributed to [...]
The Milky Way swallowed a smaller galaxy 11.8 billion years ago, new research shows. As far as is known, it is the earliest merger of our Milky Way with another galaxy.
