A True Shooting Star

NASA released a report yesterday that it has discovered a star that is speeding through space at an incredible 291,000 miles per hour. The report says that this star, named Mira, has a tail that is 30,000 light years long trailing behind. This is the first time a star has ever been observered moving through space. What an awesome universe we live in, full of so many strange and wonderful questions that will never be answered!
