Due to accelerating for hundreds of years and further accelerated by the gravitational slingshot, the kinetic energy accumulated by the Big Ice Ball was incredibly vast.
In the coming 800-plus years, the Big Ice Ball would travel to the far perihelion of its elliptical orbit.
450 years later, at a location 120 astronomical units away from the neutron star—the planned observation point—a prime observation opportunity would arise.
