18hrs... wonder how fast that means it's traveling 18hrs... wonder how fast that means it's travelingDoes it mean that gravitational pull is increasing its orbit speed and it already burned up in that star 40 or less years ago?
Assuming a circular orbit at 1,385,000 miles (=36,000,000/26) we get an 8,700,000 mile orbital path. The 18 hour period implies a speed of about 483,000 miles per hour. That is about 7.25 times as fast as the Earth revolves around the Sun.
