I just came across this article on NewScientist.com....

Dark galaxy crashing into the Milky Way (http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20427354.200-dark-galaxy-crashing-into-the-milky-way.html)

Do you guys think this is deserves attention?

Also, note the article states that this same galaxy crashed through the Milky Way roughly 70 million years ago (about the same time the dinosaurs went extinct).

I think this has been posted before. A few years back. No not millions of years. Just a couple of years ago.

It comes though our plane every 70 million years, the KT event was 65 million years ago, 5 million years after, it probably dislodged part of the Oort cloud.
