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)
The Milky Ways black hole may be spinning at top speed Our galaxy’s centre may contain an exceptional cosmic spinning top – a black hole that seems to be spinning almost as fast as possible Michael Janssen at Radboud University in the Netherlands
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 . . . 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 universe With each new measurement, we get a step closer to unraveling the secrets of the cosmos, understanding how these cosmic giants shape entire galaxies, and, perhaps, learning how they will
