Astronomers used five years of NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory images to show that the rogue star, poetically dubbed RX J0822-4300 (shown in image moving from point A in 1999 to point B in 2005), is careening away from what's left of a star that exploded about 3,700 years ago. The neutron star is exiting the Milky Way at about 3 million mph (4.8 million kph). Other hypervelocity stars known to be exiting the Milky Way move at speeds about one-third as great - believed to be hurled toward interstellar space by an aggressive, supermassive black hole at our galaxy's center.
