I've read a lot about how the Sgr galaxy is being pulled apart by the 
Milky way, but nothing about how the Milky Way is effected *by* the Sgr 
galaxy. Doesn't the Sgr galaxy have enough mass to alter the Milky Way in 
some form or another, such as distorting the shape? Are there any websites 
out there that answer these questions?

Thank you for considering this,

Sia
