The Milky Way’s Black Hole Shaping Spacetime Into a Football

26 مارس 2024

The black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is shaping spacetime into an oval reminiscent of a football. This discovery, based on careful radio and X-ray observations, confirms Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Known as Sagittarius A*, this supermassive black hole is spinning rapidly, causing spacetime to flatten around it. The finding has far-reaching implications for our understanding of the universe and the behavior of massive objects. The study sheds light on the fascinating dynamics of black holes and their influence on the fabric of spacetime.
