Even with this mass this planet would have to pass one of the outer planets extremely close and quite slowly to have a chance of dragging a planet out of the solar system.
This is the same sort of idea as when galaxies merge. There is little chance of our solar system being effected in that scenario. There is just too much space to space.
I don’t know why you bring up being able to see the dwarf galaxy at night as a qualifier. The dwarf galaxy I’m talking about seems to be Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Haven’t even begun colliding though. We can still see it way in the distance. It’s millions/billions of years away until colliding.
Imagine the night sky far in galactic future when Andromeda is like directly overhead at night. What an amazing view. Shame earth wouldn’t be around to see it.

Aren’t we currently galaxy merging?
2-5bn years with andromeda, not even close.
Thank you but I didn’t mean andromeda. I think heard something about merging with a dwarf galaxy or something
You’d think we would be able to see a dwarf galaxy approaching close to our galaxy at night? Or how dwarfey are we talking?

Yes we are in middle of a multi million year process of merging of the bigger Andromeda galaxy and our Milky Way galaxy.
With Andromeda, yes

Only a few short galactic years off!
