"Milky Way's Black Hole Primed for a Cosmic Kick, Telescopes Reveal"

Telescopes have revealed that the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, known as Sagittarius A*, is spinning so rapidly that it is warping spacetime into a football-like shape. This discovery, made using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, suggests that the black hole is ready to produce more powerful outflows if the amount of material in its vicinity increases, potentially affecting the formation of stars in the galaxy. The study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, provides new insights into the behavior of supermassive black holes.
