So some force made it start travelling this fast. This must have been a very strong force, and it's implied that the reason is that it was flung out by the gravity of the black hole. I'm wondering why the star was capable of staying together. I mean, It must have come pretty close to the center of the galaxy, and probably would have been destroyed by tidal forces, then 'eaten' by the super-massive BH. I can't exactly do the math to back that up though
