Cosmic Giant's Spin Stuns Scientists: Black Hole Warps Spacetime, Confirms Einstein!
- •JAXA & NASA's XRISM mission captured the clearest image of black hole MCG-6-30-15, 2 million times heavier than the Sun.
- •Scientists are stunned by its unprecedented rotational speed, observed through detailed iron emission lines.
- •The discovery unequivocally confirms Einstein's Theory of Relativity, showing severe warping of spacetime near the black hole.
- •XRISM's 'Resolve' instrument provided the most precise X-ray spectrum to date, challenging previous black hole spin data.
- •Research also unveiled mysteries of the black hole's 'corona' and winds, crucial for understanding galaxy evolution.
Why It Matters: New observations of a rapidly spinning black hole confirm Einstein's theory and open a new era in space research.
