This is 632 megameters (million meters) per hour. The speed of light is 1.080,000 megameters per hour. So this object is traveling 0.58% of light speed.
edit:
0.058% of light speed. thanx modva
0.058%, but impressive nonetheless.

Something finally beat the manhole cover we yeeted off the planet in the 50s? Impressive.

It’s gonna be the Parker Solar Probe, skimming the sun’s atmosphere in ever tighter and faster elipses with each orbit, gaining more and more speed with each pass.This is roughly triple the previous record, fyi
