"NASA: Milky Way's Supermassive Black Hole Spinning Rapidly, Warping Spacetime"

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed that the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning rapidly, warping spacetime into an oval shape resembling a rugby ball. Although its exact rotational speed remains unknown, it is estimated to weigh about four million times that of the Sun. This discovery has far-reaching implications, as the black hole's spin could drive powerful outflows in the future, making it more active.
