The Hubble telescope has found a large star traveling at more than 400000 kilometers per hour. That speed could get you from the Earth to the Moon and back in two hours. Scientists say the star is traveling because larger stars or star explosions may have forced it out of its normal area. The star is thought to be very young, and very large. It may be up to 90 times heavier than the sun and 1 to 2 million years old.
I believe this discovery is important. Knowing this star is traveling could help prevent any possible collision with Earth, even though it is not believed to happen. Knowing what is happening around us only makes us that much more prepared.
