guru Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hyperfast Star Proven To Be AlienScienceDaily (Jan. 29, 2008) — A young star is speeding away from the Milky Way so fast that astronomers have been puzzled by where it came from; based on its young age it has traveled too far to have come from our galaxy. Now by analyzing its velocity, light intensity, and for the first time its tell-tale elemental composition, Carnegie astronomers Alceste Bonanos and Mercedes L?pez-Morales, and collaborators Ian Hunter and Robert Ryans from Queen's University Belfas have determined that it came from our neighboring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The result suggests that it was ejected from that galaxy by a yet-to-be-observed massive black hole.> http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/...80128113256.htm via digg/science :woot:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
