Black Hole Breakthrough: NASA Discovers One Spinning at 80% the Speed of Light – What Does This Mean?
NASA has discovered a black hole spinning at 80% the speed of light, offering new insights into black hole behavior and the nature of spacetime. Using the Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists were able to measure this extreme spin and understand its role in black hole growth, gravitational waves, and the test of general relativity. This discovery paves the way for future advancements in our understanding of the universe.
How a Black Hole Spinning at 80 Percent Max Speed Just Shattered Space Theories
Messier 87* is spinning at a cosmic supercharge—around 80 percent of light-speed limit, as shown by brightness in EHT ring images. Its plasma jet precesses on an 11‑year cycle due to frame-dragging, confirming theories of spinning Kerr black holes and powerful jet-launching via magnetic and rotational mechanisms. This discovery reshapes our models of jet physics, galaxy evolution, and tests relativity like never before. Next−Gen observations are set to probe even deeper.
