"... the discovery of a star leaving our galaxy, speeding along at over 1.5 million miles per hour."

I hear liberals are flocking to buy seats.

"Only the powerful gravity of a very massive black hole could propel a star with enough force to exit our galaxy," explained Brown.


Or it could have been behind Pop after he ate a full plate of blackeyed peas with onions.

The star, catalogued as SDSS J090745.0+24507...

It won't be lonely. Stars are telepathic. See here.
