It seems like a star moving at an average speed of 500,000 miles per hour is already fast. But the star S4716 completely obliterates that, at a record-breaking speed of 18 million miles per second.

The star, S4716 orbits the black hole Sagittarius, which is also the center of our universe, the Milky Way. The star is moving so fast that it took a total of five telescopes to properly see the star, four of which were connected to one large telescope. The star orbits as close as 100 astronomical units close to the supermassive blackhole it orbits. This star took a total of 20 years to actually confirm the speed of it.
