Something in space powerful enough to slingshot a would-be star out of the Milky Way at a million miles an hour is mystifying scientists. A team of citizen scientists first discovered the object while they were working on NASA’s Backyard Worlds Planet 9 project, which uses images from the space agency’s WISE (Wide-field Infrared Explorer) mission. The mission ran from 2009 to 2011 and mapped the sky in infrared light. Once scientists at NASA got involved, they’ve since learned more about the object, including what it could be made of and where it came from.
