A Runaway Star: Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered

An enormous star is on the lam, fleeing its home at a quarter of a million miles per hour. The star, 90 times as massive as the Sun, may have traveled 375 light years from its original locale, the giant star cluster R136 in the 30 Doradus Nebula. How did it get away? A Hubble astrophysicist explores the discovery in the ongoing series, “Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered.”

“Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered” is a recurring broadcast from HubbleSite.org, online home of the Hubble Space Telescope. Astrophysicist Frank Summers takes viewers on an in-depth tour of the latest Hubble discoveries. Find more episodes at HubbleSite.org.
