9. The Cannonball Pulsar
Some objects in space move at truly staggering speeds. The Cannonball Pulsar, officially known as PSR J0002+6216, races through the galaxy at an incredible 2.5 million miles per hour. Astronomers believe this neutron star was launched by a violent supernova explosion, earning its nickname for its blistering pace. It’s one of the fastest-moving objects ever observed, providing unique insights into supernova dynamics and stellar evolution. Source: NASA
