A low-mass star has been detected traveling through the Milky Way at 1,500 times faster than the speed of sound.
The speed of this "hypervelocity" star is so great, in fact, that it is likely to escape our galaxy altogether.
University of California , San Diego Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics Adam Burgasser and colleagues hypothesized that the star was once the stellar companion of a type of a "dead" star called a white dwarf.
The trajectory of J1249+36 was traced back to an extremely crowded region of space.
It could indeed be the location of a currently undiscovered globular cluster.
The team will now look at the elemental composition of the star in an attempt to determine which of ejection scenarios is the correct one.
