    S4716 is an S star located at the center of the Milky Way galaxy orbiting the supermassive blackhole Sgr A* at the speed of 8,000 kilometres per second in closest approach of 100 AU. As of July 2022, the orbital period of S4716 was the shortest known of any star in the Milky Way galaxy.

    We chose this name to follow up on our nomenclature presented in Peißker et al. ( 2020c ), where we introduced several new stars, which we call S4711–S4715. These stars are orbiting Sgr A* on highly eccentric orbits with periods close to or less than 10 yr. For S4716, we derive an orbital period of only 4 yr.

    The star, S4716, orbits Sagittarius A*, the black hole in the center of our galaxy, in four years and reaches a speed of around 8,000 kilometers per second (5,000 miles per second) which is about 30 million kilometers per hour (18 million miles per hour).

    The star, designated S4716, completes an orbit around the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) in just around four years. This means that the star is traveling at blisteringly fast speeds of around 18 million mph (29 million kph), or nearly 5,000 miles every second.
