Did we do something wrong?
Researchers have spotted the fastest known star to have ever escaped the Milky Way, seemingly as a result of another star exploding in a massive thermonuclear blast.
In total, the research team led by Harvard astrophysicist Kareem El-Badry identified six new runaway stars in our galaxy after studying data from the European Space Agency's Gaia survey, four of which likely were pushed out as a result of a special type of supernova. In some of these systems, the other star starts aggregating material from its white dwarf star companion, as, which can build up into huge stores of hydrogen gas. At a certain point, this hydrogen gas explodes in a thermonuclear detonation and even triggers a second blast inside the core of the white dwarf.
