The fastest spinning celestial object in the universe is a Neutron star called PSR J1748-2446. It rotates 716 times every second, so its equator moves at about 25% the speed of light. It is also 50 trillion times the density of lead and has a magnetic field a trillion times stronger than the Sun’s.
