Ancient Star Seen Zooming Through Space at 600 Kilometers Per Second. Most of the stars in the Milky Way tread sedate and orderly orbital measures around the galactic center, but that's not the case for everything. "hypervelocity" stars are extremely rare". A star named CWISE J124909+362116.0 (J1249+36 for short) not only exceeds galactic escape with a velocity at around 600 kilometers (373 miles) per second
Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our solar system, is approximately 4.24 light-years away from Earth, that means light, which travels at a speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, would take roughly 4.24 years to travel from our planet to Proxima Centauri.
