New observations have discovered that the black hole in M87, the first black hole ever imaged, is actually spinning.
Learning more about black holes has been a priority for the scientific community since the first black hole was discovered in 1964.
Because they don’t line up, the jets seem to flip-flop back and forth, up and down, throughout their cycle. Further, because the misalignment causes the matter and mass around the black hole to swirl differently, it also seems to have a significant impact on the spacetime surrounding M87’s black hole.
This is yet another win for Einstein’s theory, which calls this affected movement “frame-dragging.” Of course, astronomers aren’t yet sure how fast M87’s black hole is spinning, nor how large the accretion disk on the black hole actually is. To learn that, they will need to complete more observations of the black hole in the coming years.
