Location and direction of motion of DESI-HVS1 in the Galaxy. The three panels show different projections in Galactic Cartesian coordinates. The positions of the Sun, the GC, and the solar circle are indicated by the orange star, red cross, and gray circle, respectively. The blue line indicates the path DESI-HVS1 will travel over the next 4 Myr. The arrows show the velocity directions in each projection.
