I hope I don’t fret over this; I have enough to worry about already.

Just call it an anomalous test result.

Astronomers discover dirty contact in the ‘on-off’ switch was causing an anomymly in the readings,- they have this to say at a recent press conference “Woops” - public is stunned.

In each case, they shared a perfectly circular orbit. But this one has a very elongated orbit

I don't understand. Fast neutron stars are well known phenomenon. Supernova explosions can be lop-sided, shooting the resulting neutron stars at very high speed, sending it beyond the escape velocity of their galaxies. I would think that only a slightly lop-sided explosion would just result in making its current orbit very eccentric.
