"Record-breaking Speed: Milky Way's Fastest Stars Discovered"
Astronomers have discovered the fastest runaway star ever seen in the Milky Way galaxy, named J0927, which is hurtling through space at a stunning 5.112 million miles per hour. It was spotted alongside three other fast-moving stars, all of which are thought to be the results of a Type Ia supernova. The researchers estimate that D6 supernovas might account for half of all Type Ia supernovas, but to know for certain, they will have to locate even more runaway stars streaking through space.
