The Canis Major Dwarf galaxy has already collided with the Milky Way, and is currently located inside our galaxy, approximately 42,000 lightyears away from our galactic center. It is located 25,00 light years from our solar system, which puts us closer to it rather than the center of our galaxy, which is 30,00 lightyears away.
