Researchers discovered the rotation of the first black hole imaged by humans

Researchers have already managed to image a black hole for the first time and examine it completely. A new study on this black hole shows that the black hole in question is rotating.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, the super large black hole discovered in 2019 was the first empty space that could be imaged by humans, which resembled an orange donut. The new study shows that this black hole is now rotating and its rotation speed has not yet been determined.

This study used data from network radio telescopes that have been observing this black hole at the heart of the Messier galaxy for two decades. In the new study, it was found that a jet of powerful rays and particles belonging to the poles of the black hole came out and were affected by it. This jet has been oscillating like a pendulum during an 11-year cycle, which is caused by gravitational interactions between black holes.

Data from the new study shows that this jet can change its path by about 10 degrees every 11 years. On the other hand, the obtained results can be consistent with the data related to theoretical supercomputer simulations. Data from recent research will help better understand how black holes form and turn into monsters around the world.
