The milky way is not a monster galaxy!

It is decent enough, unless you are talking about the Canis Minor and Sagittarius Dwarf getting ripped apart by it. An that is their own fault for getting too close, same with the maggellenic clouds.

antoniseb, do you think we will find ellipticals that have collapsed into large black holes? giving rise to Great Attractor phenomenon? If not, what happens?

Tiny, I haven't heard of brown dwarfs in any galactic bulges, I think they are full of mainly Red Giants like Betleguse, This story from science daily suggests this could be up for reveiw.

The distence to the bulge would male it prohibitative to see dwarfs, I know of a white dwarf being spotted in a globular culsters ( M4 at APOD )
But I think it is a safe bet they are there, and lots of them.
