Our Galaxys Monster Black Hole Is Spinning Almost as Fast as . . . The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate That's just one thing astrophysicists have discovered after developing and applying a new method to tease apart the secrets still hidden in supermassive black hole observations collected by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)
Our Galaxys Monster Black Hole Is Spinning Almost As Fast As . . . The unprecedented global collaboration spent years working to give us the first direct images of the shadows of black holes, first with M87* in a galaxy 55 million light-years away, then with Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of our own galaxy
The Monster Black Hole That Spins Faster Than Anything in the . . . In fact, the black hole may soon become a cosmic laboratory for testing the most extreme theories of physics—gravitational waves, dark matter, and even quantum mechanics The Cosmic Legacy of M87 The supermassive black hole in M87 is far more than just a giant object at the center of a galaxy It is a symbol of the power and mystery of the
The Milky Ways black hole may be spinning at top speed An image of Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way galaxy EHT Our galaxy’s centre may contain an exceptional cosmic spinning top – a black hole that seems to be spinning
Unveiling the Secrets of our Galaxy’s Supermassive Black Hole Using X-ray data from NuSTAR, researchers at Michigan State University (MSU) have made groundbreaking discoveries about Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy
