RX J1856.5−3754 neutron star towards Earth

Okay, so there’s this neutron star, RX J1856.5−3754, and it’s heading our way at about 67 miles per second. It’s currently 400 light-years off, which is super far, so zero chance of it messing with anything here. This cosmic object popped into existence about a million years ago after a supernova went down, reported by NASA, ESA, and ESO with art from Science Photo Library
