This Is The Fastest Star Ever Found

The fastest star ever detected is moving at about 8% the speed of light. Astronomers have dubbed it S4714.

Cosmoknowledge brings news from space.
We love you, explorers!

[@blindandwatching]

Imagine 2 of those stars having a near head on collision at a combined speed of 10% the speed of light.

[@Cosmoknowledge]

That would be interesting to watch.

[@deidei79]

Can't deal with how awesome this is. Thankyou youtube algorithm

[@Cosmoknowledge]

So awesome that you liked this! Thank you!!! ✌

[@thehouselawyer1731]

not for me... I had a hard time

[@rbkstudios2923]

This was some real good content. Would've been better if you added some more specifications about the research and researchers who discovered this, how this awe-inspiring revelation dawned onto them And a little more emphasis on how fast 8% the speed of light actually is Just a bit of advice from one your your regular supporters😊 Good luck

[@Cosmoknowledge]

I truly appreciate your advice and I'm gonna try to implement it in future videos. Thank you so much for your support! ✌

[@callumbush1]

I've often wondered what would happen if the largest possible magnetar collided with the smallest possible blackhole?

[@Cosmoknowledge]

I guess we have to do some research for the next video!

[@callumbush1]

That's not a star but an alien probe studying the blackhole!

[@Cosmoknowledge]

That would be extraordinarily cool, but usually, this stuff is too boring compared to that.

[@aviralmishra7104]

Nice 😯👌🏼

[@Cosmoknowledge]

Thank you! 😍😍

[@swolch]

For a little context, S471a orbits nearly as close to Sagittarius A* as Jupiter does to the Sun. Jupiter ~ 1.4 billion km S471a ~ 1.9 billion km

Today I saw one , quickly moved in between stars like we drive car...

[@astronics]

Hey +cosmoknowledge you said that stars closer to black hole move faster than those at the edges, but some other channels like veritasium say that all stars move at the same speed and it could be due to the presence of dark matter or something else.

[@Cosmoknowledge]

Well, objects may gain more speed when they pass close to massive objects due to gravitational forces.

[@shrey4264]

Great video

[@Cosmoknowledge]

Thank you! 😍

[@Barba72Simon]

Awesome. Me towards this star: Whoa there bucko slow down a bit.

[@Cosmoknowledge]

You're going too fast pal, don't rush yourself. 😄✌

[@superdupersusgamer5835]

So cool!

[@Cosmoknowledge]

Awesome to hear that!

[@davidhenderson3400]

It would be something if two of those high speed stars hit. At the speed they are going the energy released would be off the chart.

[@tinkmarshino]

S 62 also fits this bill it's orbit doesn't take it out as far as 4714 oops.. I see you have included 62 in your vid.. never mind! Hey was that you I saw on titan the other day.. I should have gone by and said hi.. But the fam. was in a hurry to see the methane bubbles burst in the upper atmosphere so I couldn't stop.. next time eh?....... Man I would just love to get a peak inside a black hole.. They are one of the most mysterious and cool things out there.. Well carry on brother..

[@Cosmoknowledge]

Yea, that was me on Titan. Not a very welcoming place. But the view was nice. Haha! Hey, enjoy my man! ✌

[@Vivaswaan.]

Wow, that's wonderful

[@diatomos8]

Great use of music.

[@Cosmoknowledge]

So awesome that you enjoyed it. Thanks! ✌

[@seththunder2077]

Can you please explain the second fact. Why is it 100,000 years exactly or like how was it derived to be 100,0000 and at 5:30, why does the quasar create this line of light along that specific direction only and why is it extending beyond as shown in the video. Thanks in advance and i really love your videos.

[@Cosmoknowledge]

That 100,000 was just a guess to make it interesting that we can actually look very far away. As for the quasar, they always shoot jets from their poles. Why they do that is still debatable, but it could be due to the magnetic fields which might be weaker at the poles so that energy particles would preferentially escape in that direction. Thank you so much for your appreciation! ✌

[@michaelwager1526]

please, from now on, NO MUSIC! it is so distracting. not only that, it is too loud! anyone in the world can concentrate better without the music. since astronomy is a difficult subject, the music, especially, should be removed. THANK YOU.

[@tyberfen5009]

Hard to believe, that there are objects, that are significantly affected by relativistic effects

[@Cosmoknowledge]

It's crazy right!?

Not as fast as a fast-moving train lol

It's about 32 times the diameter of the Sun.

Nice 👍

[@Cosmoknowledge]

Thank you!

[@milkywaygalaxy9438]

Ok l like it

[@smit17xp]

Since those stars are moving so fast they might last longer than others as their time might be slower. Great video btw

[@Cosmoknowledge]

Good point. Well, time is relative, the star might age a bit slower compared to another star, but in reality, the star is fusing hydrogen the same way every star does, depending on the size. Thank you for appreciating the video! 😍✌

Hi

[@astronics]

Are you interested in topics like speed of light, the uses of it or other things about astrophysics related to some type of aeronautical engineering to use them?

[@Cosmoknowledge]

Well done! 😍❤
