Chandra issued a press/image release on 6/30/22, "Chandra Shows Giant Black Hole Spins Slower Than Its Peers”. Astronomers have gauged how fast a supermassive black hole is spinning inside a quasar 3.4 billion light years away. Using Chandra data, they found it is rotating at about half the speed of light. This remarkable speed is still much slower than many less massive black holes, providing clues to how this black hole grew. Scientists think that nearly every galaxy, including the Milky Way, has a giant black hole at its center.
