University of Massachusetts conducted a major project known as Two-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) which computed data of sky in infrared light. For decades scientists were confused about a huge part of "our" galaxy, when they finally realized that Milky Way is consuming one of its neighbours (galactic cannibalism).

For decades, astronomers were puzzled about why the Milky Way is at an angle. The theory behind their thinking was that if our planet really did originate from the Milky Way we would be oriented to the galaxy's ecliptic, with all of the planets aligned around the Sun in the same angle as our Sun is aligned to the Milky Way. However, the angle suggests that our Sun is actually influenced by a completely different system. In conclusion, our galaxy is the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy and not Milky Way!
You might be surprised to know that this very moment, the rapid changes occuring in our Sol is tied into our solar system crossing of the galactic center.
