[quote:JimmyK:MV8xMzM4Nzg2XzIyMDMxNTM4X0U5RjE1QkI0] [quote:The Commentator] [quote:Anonymous Coward 830513] zetas right again [/quote] And how in the hell do the delusional ravings of a senile, hate filled old woman have to do with a star 458 light years away? [/quote] Greetings, Well it did say it was traveling at 54,000 mph. Of course a light year is roughly 5,900,000,000,000 miles. And let's see, you said there were 458 of those so that is about, what 2,702,200,000,000,000 miles away. Anyone want to take a stab at dividing that number by the rate of speed of 54000 and coming up with date it would show up if headed in this direction? Should be fun. Regards JimmyK [/quote]

A NASA space telescope has captured the shockwave caused by a runaway star. The massive star is racing at 54,000 mph through a cloud of dust and gas.
NASA used an orbiting observatory called WISE that sees the sky in infrared light.
It recorded the yellow arc as its powerful stellar winds push the gas and dust out of the way.
Astronomers believe the star, labelled Zeta in the constellation of Ophiuchus the snake charmer, once revolved around another star.
