Hypervelocity stars (HVS) are a unique class of stars which are defined by their extreme velocities (around 1,000 km/s). In fact, they are moving fast enough to be gravitationally unbound to the Galaxy. They were first predicted in 1998 and are thought to be a result of three-body interactions between a binary star pair and a massive black hole (MBH) that resides in the galactic center. The first HVS was discovered in 2005 and there are now about 20 known HVS.

Does Venus have stars?
No. Venus has no stars. Planets do not "have" stars, at least not in the way that they have moons or rings. It does orbit a star, however. This star is the Sun.

How big are hypervelocity stars?
The term hypervelocity star relates to the velocity of the star and has no relation to it's size or mass. So far only 16 hypervelocity stars have been observed.
