>Given a recent estimate of 4.31 million M for the mass of the Sgr A* black hole and S2's close approach, this makes S2 the fastest known ballistic orbit, reaching speeds exceeding 5,000 km/s (11,000,000 mph, or 160 the speed of light) and acceleration of about 1.5 m/s2 (almost one-sixth of Earth's surface gravity).[15]
Powered slingshots around Sgr A* WHEN?

How would you calculate the time dilation on S-02, if we were to look at it in realtime from Earth?

Say it was a planet like the whole Interstellar part. How slowed down would its oceans and weather appear to us from here?

It's not my field, I'm just interested.
