Fascinating. With the Canis Major dwarf of a billion stars and assuming the Milky Way has 100 billion stars, I can see where the extra 1% mass comes from. However, the Milky Way could have up to 400 billion stars.
Assuming a collision of stars occurred, what is the outcome if two Sun-like stars collide? Supernova?
