A recent study suggests that a collection of metal-poor stars in the Milky Way may be remnants of a dwarf galaxy known as Loki, which was absorbed by our galaxy about 10 billion years ago. This discovery, published in the *Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society*, challenges existing notions about the Milky Way's formation and growth. The Milky Way, spanning approximately 100,000 light-years and containing between 100 billion and 400 billion stars, has a history of merging with smaller galaxies to increase its mass. Researchers identified 20 metal-poor stars in close proximity to the galactic disk, using data from the European Space Agency's Gaia telescope and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. These stars, thought to be over 10 billion years old, exhibit similar chemical compositions, indicating a common origin. Notably, some stars are on prograde orbits while others are retrograde, hinting at complex dynamics from the merger. This study adds to the understanding of galactic cannibalism, a process where larger galaxies absorb smaller ones, and suggests that further investigation into Loki could reveal significant insights into the Milky Way's evolutionary history.
