What’s interesting about the star, besides its pure speed, is it is travelling in a “dark matter” halo surrounding our galaxies, the astronomers said.

But isn't dark matter unseeable? And dark energy undetectable? So...how was this 'dark matter halo' observed?

“If you’re looking at a herd of cows, and one starts going 60 mph, that’s telling you something important” “You may not know at first what that is. But for hypervelocity stars, one of their mysteries is where they come from – and the massive black hole in our galaxy is implicated.”

It took one look at that black hole and got the hell outta there!

I would too!

Sure they can, right after they unveil aether's and phlogiston's secrets

“The hypervelocity star tells us a lot about our galaxy – especially its center and the dark matter halo,” stated Zheng Zheng....

Science so simple, a panda can do it
