Citizen scientists collaborating with NASA’s Backyard Worlds project have discovered a unique hypervelocity object, CWISE J1249, that is rapidly exiting the Milky Way. Powered by infrared images from NASA’s WISE mission, this find includes contributions from amateur astronomers who identified its unusual speed and composition. The object, possibly a low-mass star or brown dwarf, showcases a rare makeup indicating an ancient origin. Theories about its high velocity involve interactions with supernovae or black holes, suggesting a dynamic past within the cosmos.
