Part 2/12:
Most celestial bodies in our solar system orbit with eccentricities less than one. However, this object was recorded with an eccentricity over six—a mathematical impossibility for a solar orbit—indicating it originated from beyond our star system. Further calculations revealed its speed to be approximately 58 km/second (around 130,000 mph), making it the fastest interstellar object ever detected. Tracing its trajectory backward suggested it had been traveling through interstellar space for millions, possibly billions, of years.
