In the past decade, astronomers have found about 20 of these odd stars. Hypervelocity stars appear to be remaining pairs of binary stars that once orbited each other and got too close to the supermassive black hole at the galaxy's centre. Intense gravity from the black hole -- which has the mass of 4 million stars like our sun -- captures one star so it orbits the hole closely, and slingshots the other on a trajectory headed beyond the galaxy.
Discovered in 2014, This newly discovered hypervelocity star outshines our own sun: It is four times hotter and about 3,400 times brighter (if viewed from the same distance). But compared with our 4.6-billion-year-old sun, the newly discovered LAMOST-HVS1 is a youngster born only 32 million years ago.
This star was imaged through a 10" SCT . Camera: Canon DSLR 1100D working at a telescope's configuration of F/6.3. Image taken from Flarestar Observatory, Malta.

Agoudal
Iron IIAB
Morocco
Find: 2000
TKW: 100 kg / OBJ: 61,77 g
Mass: greater than 100Kg
Classification: Iron, IIAB
Weathering Grade: W1
Structural Type: Hexahedrite
Geochemistry: Ni 5.5 wt% | Co 4.1 mg/g | Ga 58 µg/g, | Ir < 0.04 µg/g | Au ˜1 µg/g
History & Other Information: This low-nickel iron IIAB meteorite was found near Imilchil, Morocco in 2000. It was eventually brought down the canyon to the town of Er Rich, where in 2011 a local dealer bought it and subsequently sent it off for analysis. (Our local version of the history recounts an Agoudal local sending a sample off to Dr. Ibhi in Agadir for analysis). By the time it was identified as a new, unpaired iron IIAB hexahedrite meteorite and given an official name, the rush to find more material by local hunters was in full swing. Early on, this meteorite was also known by the name 'Imilchil'.
By mid 2012, nearly a ton of material was thought to have been collected. We believe it to be closer to two tons. In 2013 scientists from local universities collected 200 grams of specimens with GPS coordinates and in-situ photographs. Despite the massive amount of material collected, due primarily to local hunters' disregard for documenting find locations, the strewn field is not yet well defined.
It is widely thought that this meteorite is connected to an ancient hypervelocity impact that occured 40,000 years ago, evidenced by shatter cones found in the same general vicinity of the meteorites. The nearby lakes Isli and Tislit have also been mentioned in peer reviewed papers as being possible impact craters related to the Agoudal meteorite. The shatter cones of Agoudal do establish that an impact occured in the area sometime in the past. Exactly where the related structure is, has yet to be conclusively identified. However, the shatter cones we have found in-situ lead us to believe the impact structure is centered around the area previously identified by Dr. Ibhi and other researchers. No defensible evidence for hypervelocity impact origin has been established for the lake structures, nor has a strong connection been established between the shatter cones and the Agoudal meteorite. Any association is only circumstantial at this point.
One of the largest finds, a 79 Kilo giant, is still in Agoudal waiting for the right buyer. If you represent a known institution, dealer, or collection interested in acquiring one of the largest Agoudal meteorites found to date, send us an email. We will gladly broker the purchase with a US based contract and an insured transaction with optional escrow service. We have extensive contacts in the area and our field headquarters are located just down the canyon from Agoudal in the town of Ait' Youb.

At nearly 2km wide and 150m deep, Lonar meteorite crater is the only hypervelocity meteoritic impact crater in basaltic rock in the world, and the only one with a salt lake at the bottom, surrounded by a dense jungle. This is sunrise and not a soul to be seen. In fact, I was the only tourist there for months.
