First stellar outcast discovered by astronomers

Yup, they aren't vacuum cleaners I was talking about feeding because that would probably involve radiations of some kind. Also, in acuality, the sun turning into a black hole is pretty much impossible (mass) but if you suddenly found a way to shrink the sun, it would be a catostrophic event... Barring all that, yeah, nothing would happen... :-?

Must have been some event to rip a binary apart, swallow one and fling the other totally out of the Galaxy at ~.22c

That's 0.0022c. Over an hour to cross the distance from here to the moon, not a few seconds.
