DARK MATTER

The rotation speed of Sagittarius A*, close to that of light, is very close to the maximum possible for a black hole of its mass and size.

Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole that lives in the center of our galaxy is not only rotating, but it is doing so at the maximum speed possible, dragging everything around it in its rotation.

The finding has important implications for our understanding of black hole formation and the astrophysical processes associated with them.
