Speeding star accelerated by exploding companion

One of the fastest moving stars in the Milky Way galaxy was accelerated to hypervelocity speeds by an exploding companion star.  The star called US 708 HVS 2 is travelling at over 1200 kilometres per second, so fast that it will escape the Milky Way Galaxy in 25 million years.
