 This could happen if it originally was one of a pair of stars and if there is a supermassive black hole in the LMC.In 2010 a study was published in which its proper motion was estimated using images from the Hubble Space Telescope from 2006 and 2009.This ruled out the possibility that the star came from the Large Magellanic Cloud, but was consistent with the hypothesis that it was ejected from the center of the Milky Way.
