The outcast is going so fast -- over 1.5 million mph -- that astronomers believe it was lobbed out of the galaxy by the tremendous force of a black hole thought to sit at the Milky Way's center.Holy cats!! Isn't that well past the speed of light (186,000 mph)? So what happened to all the nay-sayers who have said that nothing could travel faster than the speed of light? Pass the crow, gentlemen ....

That would be 186,000 miles per second, not hour, for the speed of light.

As said before, it's 186,000 miles per second - that translates to 669,600,000mph. That star is only moving at 0.224% of the speed of light.
