Superfast

Thu Sep 24, 2009, 2:57 AM
Apparently there are stars moving at 2.5 million km/hour. I can't comprehend this figure. The earth's circumference at the equator is about 40,000 km. So at this speed it could get around the earth just over 60 times in an hour, that's once in less than a minute! How can something as big as a star go that fast?

A couple of theories were mentioned as to how they got that fast including for binary stars one being flung out by a black hole and the other captured, or one star exploding as a supernova flinging it's partner away at high speed as well as some other ways.

Stranger than fiction.

And this is why, Mother Earth, I wept inwardly for thee at the moment of the immense parade called Time: the clowns were passing, and everybody knows that inside, somwhere, their hearts are broken.
