I te 11 o Hānuere 2006, i panuitia ko ngā aorangi hoa ngoikore o Andromeda Galaxy kei runga, e tata ana rānei ki te rererangi kotahi e rere ana i te pokapū o Andromeda Galaxy. Kāore tēnei tohatoha ohorere i mārama i roto i te horopaki o ngā tauira o nāianei mō te hanganga o te aorangi. E tohu ana te rererangi o ngā aorangi amiorangi ki tētahi rōpū tata o ngā aorangi (M81 Group), tērā pea e aroturuki ana i te tohatoha nui o te take pouri. Pātai: He aha te momo take i kitea e te aorangi?
