Summary:
The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope has picked up the fastest rotating star found so far. This massive bright young star lies in our neighbouring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, about 160,000 light-years from Earth. Astronomers think that it may have had a violent past and has been ejected from a double star system by its exploding companion.
Critique:
reasearchers could look into the double star it was ejected from and see if there were any more that had happened like that.
Impact:
Among all of the stars they find this one that has such and intersting past. This star having done this has set the record of the fastest rotating star.
