Given the Milkyway and Andromeda are merging together. This makes sense, I did read that the halo around each are very close, as we keep finding more evidence that the influence of our own galaxy reaches furtber out than previous studies.

@zleap It'll be interesting to see which globulars Andromeda may have stolen from the Milky Way, although it might be too early for that
