A galaxy has thrown out a star cluster towards Earth at more than two million miles per hour.

Astrophysicists are not sure why the cluster was ejected from its galaxy and have hypothesized a slingshot effect due to 2 supermassive black holes at the center of the galaxy known as M87.

What scientists do agree on is that it will probably land right on the back of your ass.

It's a true story. There actually is a star cluster called HVGC-1 which has been ejected from a galaxy and is hurtling "towards" earth.

Of course when astronomers say "hurtling towards earth," what it really means is it will miss earth by 46 billion miles, 532 million years from now - or something like that.

Astronomer always try to sexy their shit up.
