Donny Gillson - He just doesn't quit does he?
Well, seems that Gillson, the Guru of Nibiru, is now making much of the The Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy (Sgr dE). AND yet again, he only gives partial facts, and facts that he's twisted to his own nefarious agenda. The Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy is an elliptical, loop shaped satellite galaxy of the Milky Way Galaxy. It consists of four globular clusters, the main cluster having been discovered in 1994. Sag DEF is roughly 10,000 light years in diameter and is about 70,000 light years from Earth, traveling in a polar orbit at a distance of about 50,000 light years from the core of the Milky Way Galaxy. (Remember... We're only roughly 25 light years from the core of the Milky Way Galaxy!)
Gillson would have you believe that this galaxy is about to hit earth. However, at 70,000 light years a way (one light year is the distance light travels in one year or about 6 Trillion miles a year), and the fact that it has a Polar Orbit around the Milky Way, this is rather unlikely.
Here are some facts (which I'm sure Gillson will ignore as he does ALL facts):
Based on its current trajectory, the Sag DEG main cluster is about to pass through the galactic disc of the Milky Way within the next hundred million years, while the extended loop-shaped ellipse is already extended around and through our local space and on through the Milky Way galactic disc, and in the process of slowly being absorbed into the larger galaxy, calculated at 10,000 times the mass of Sag DEG.
At first, many astronomers thought that Sag DEG had already reached an advanced state of destruction, so that a large part of its original matter was already mixed with that of the Milky Way. However, Sag DEG still has coherence as a dispersed elongated ellipse, and appears to move in a roughly polar orbit around the Milky Way as close as 50,000 light-years from the galactic core. Although it may have begun as a ball of stars before falling towards the Milky Way, Sag DEG is now being torn apart by immense tidal forces over hundreds of millions of years. Numerical simulations suggest that stars ripped out from the dwarf would be spread out in a long stellar stream along its path, which were subsequently detected.
Some astronomers contend that Sag DEG has been in orbit around the Milky Way for some billions of years, and has already orbited it approximately ten times. Its ability to retain some coherence despite such strains would indicate an unusually high concentration of dark matter within that galaxy.

So, all of Gillson's hype about this galaxy seems to be over nothing. Yet again he epically FAILS to give out accurate information, preferring instead to resort to weird theories, misguided opinion, and non-existent research.
