Description:
For the first time, scientists have calculated the rotation speed of a supermassive black hole, and they found that it is spinning at nearly the speed of light, the limit of what is possible, according to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Measuring the spin rate of black holes provides valuable clues about their formation.nnScience Bulletins is a production of the National Center for Science Literacy, Education, and Technology (NCSLET), part of the Department of Education at the American Museum

_the-tangible-universe.webp "A virtual experience for laymen and astronomers that visualizes X-ray data of astronomical objects from the ESA satellite XMM-Newton. Data of over 1,000 astronomical X-ray sources generate unique data objects. The sizes, colors or haptic feedback of each individual object represent observational parameters such as source brightness, class, or energy. An observer can move freely within our galaxy and explore each object to study its radiation. A special feature is the ability to sort the objects")
