Fastest star in the Milky Way shaped by black hole's spin
Original: Fastest star in the Milky Way feels the rotation of our central black hole
Astronomers report that the fastest star in the Milky Way is influenced by the rotation of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. The finding suggests the star's extreme velocity and trajectory carry the imprint of the black hole's spin, offering a rare way to probe the properties of our galaxy's central object.
Why now: New research links the galaxy's fastest star to the spin of the central black hole, a striking astrophysics result
