Using the data set that has been gleamed from the ESA's telescope will it be possible to trace back the path or the motions of the star in the history? So for example we know that Bernard Star is now. Using will it be possible for us to calculate where it was about 10,000 or 100,000 or even 1,000,000 years ago?

This is a really cool discovery: a sun-like star orbiting an invisible black hole about 1600 light-years from our solar system. Not really close, but close enough to be an excellent subject of future scientific studies.

Astronomers Just Realized The Milky Way Is Too Big For Its Surroundings : ScienceAlert


Our home, the Milky Way, doesn't seem particularly odd for a galaxy.

One of the new high-resolution simulations of the dark matter enveloping the Milky Way and its neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. The new study shows that earlier, failed attempts to find counterparts of the plane of satellites that surrounds the Milky Way in dark matter simulations was due to a lack of resolution.

In the sky, there is something called The Local Group.
This includes three different galaxies: The Milky Way, Andromeda, and The Triangulum Galaxies.
These three galaxies are nearest to one another. Three great big collections of stars, planets, moons, and other bodies.

But the Moon is just a satellite that orbits the Earth. Since the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, and all the other planets are all inside the Milky Way galaxy.
