Astronomers have observed the merging of galaxies NGC 5713 and NGC 5719, offering insights into the future collision of the Milky Way and Andromeda. The study reveals how dwarf satellite galaxies align during such mergers, potentially shaping the structure of our Local Group. This research challenges existing models and questions whether the Milky Way is a typical galaxy.
