Description

Meet S301, the fastest known star in the Milky Way. This video visualizes its extreme orbit around Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, using published scientific data. S301 reaches around 25,000 km/s, more than 8% the speed of light, during its closest approach. This simulation is designed to represent the orbit as accurately as possible, while allowing for minor visual approximations.
