"Milky Way's Fastest Runaway Star Breaks Records at 5 Million MPH"

Six new runaway stars have been discovered racing through the Milky Way, with two of them moving faster than any object of this type ever seen. These record-breaking stars are traveling at an incredible 5.1 million miles per hour and 3.8 million miles per hour, respectively. The team behind the discovery thinks that the incredible velocity of these four stars could be the result of them being launched by a particular type of cosmic explosion called a Type Ia supernova.
