There is a long straight trail of stars, like bread crumbs, leading from NGC-5466 in the Milky Way's halo to the galactic disk. It’s called the 45 Degree Tidal Stream and it could be the result of the cluster passing through one of our galactic neighborhoods, stealing raw material to construct new stars.
@loke - To whom much is given, much is expected.
@Skywise how dare they steal our material to make stars? Have you brought this up to the authorities?
