Color me impressed when they find something that's gone plaid.
I'm still impressed the amount of data that can be gleaned from these images from this type of processing. Each time someone comes up with a novel idea, they no longer need to build a telescope and capture the data. They just pull down the data that already exists, and apply the "new" to it. You don't even have to change your hours to live like a vampire to do it.
This would be a good use of CV/ML type of "AI" that I can get onboard with vs the write my email for me type of wasted electrons.
Sounds like the "Fast Protosun" from Larry Niven's short story, "Flatlander". (I could swear its called "Cannonball Express" in another story of Larry's).
1.6 million km/h is 0.001483c, or roughly 0.1%. Which is pretty darn quick for something that, if it's something like a brown dwarf, weighs between 10 - 80 times as much as Jupiter.

Just don't try to land on it right away!
