Does the Milky Way orbit anything?

Do galaxies, including our own Milky Way, orbit anything in the universe?

Some of the oldest stars in the universe found hiding near the Milky Way's edge — and they may not be alone

Astronomers reanalyzed the chemical composition of three stars in the Milky Way's halo and found that they are between 12 and 13 billion years old. They may have also been stolen from other galaxies.

In the Milky Way, 3 intruder stars are 'on the run' — in the wrong direction

Three ancient stars that hail from cannibalized dwarf galaxies are "on the run" at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour in the Milky Way's galactic halo.

Milky Way's halo is filled with 'magnetic donuts' as wide as 100,000 light-years

Astronomers have determined that the Milky Way's outer halo is filled with "magnetic donuts" that are as wide as 100,000 light-years. The discovery could shed light on how cosmic magnetic fields form and evolve.
