- The star S62 orbits the Milky Way's central black hole. Its orbit was recently measured, and found to reach 7% of the speed of light (76 million km/h), making it by far the fastest known star. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A*#Orbiting_stars 4 comments space
- The star S175 reaches 12800 km/s at the closest point of its orbit around our galaxy's supermassive black hole. That's 4.27% of the speed of light, and more than 10x faster than the hypervelocity star US 708 which is often credited as the fastest known star. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/sagittarius_a*#orbiting_stars 14 comments space
