Tech The Hypervelocity Star That’s Being Booted from the Galaxy Runaway Star Every 100,000 years, a hypervelocity star gets “kicked out” of the Universe—and it’s happening right now.

A University of Utah-led team discovered a “hypervelocity star” that is the closest, second brightest, and among the largest of 20 found so far. Speeding at more than 1 million mph (1.6 ...

Astronomers have detected a hypervelocity star called S5-HVS1 traveling at a tremendous speed of 2.3 million mph (1,017 km/s), making it the third-fastest star ever recorded. It is traveling fast ...

Most hypervelocity stars were once part of a binary pair that strayed too close to the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. As one star spirals inward toward the black hole, the ...
