- sorae – Star escaping the Milky Way at 1700 km/s.being kicked away by a black hole
This is the star “S5-HVS1” that flew out of the galactic center at high speed, which sorae presented in the article on November 15, 2019.imaginationin.
S5-HVS1 appears to be moving at a tremendous speed of 1700 km/s, which is 10 times faster than other stars in the Milky Way galaxy, or 6 million km/h. (Research results from 2019)
S5-HVS1 was about 29,000 light-years away from Earth, relatively close on the scale of the universe, so the research team was able to trace “where it came from.”
As a result of the analysis, it was found that S5-HVS1 could have been ejected from the supermassive black hole “Sagittarius A*” located at the center of the Milky Way around 4.8 million years ago.
A star that moves much faster than other stars like this is called a “supervelocity star”.

[Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*)]>> Commentary
Sagittarius A* is a celestial body in the center of the Milky Way, about 27,000 light-years away from Earth, and a supermassive black hole with a mass about 4 million times that of the Sun. On May 12, 2022, the international research group “Event Horizon Telescope” announced that it had succeeded in shooting for the first time.
