Nyx stream

In astronomy, the Nyx stream is a proposed stellar stream that wraps around the Milky Way galaxy, relatively close to the sun. About 500 stars have been identified in this stream from the Gaia DR2.^[1] Elemental abundances of the most likely stellar members are consistent with the stream being a high velocity component of the Milky Way's thick disk, rather than having an extragalactic origin.^[2]
