It is much more impressive for any body to generate its own delta V than to follow an orbit.
This is the reason why you discuss cars moving at tens of meters per second forgetting that they are already moving at over 200km/s around our Galaxy. Because some reference frames just aren't interesting.
- ivalm 6y agoThe velocity of the star in the paper, and our star, are both with respect to galactic nucleus. The star is still following orbit, just presumably a very eccentric one. I never said it is not impressive, just that it is similar to typical orbital velocities in our galaxy. The eccentricity of the orbit is the atypical thing here.
