Spining Black Hole

The discovery of a giant, spinning black hole that has been knocked off its axis twice has led astronomers to suggest that a violent galaxy collision caused the strange cosmic behavior.

“We think that this black hole has quite a history,” said astronomer Christopher Reynolds of the University of Maryland, a co-author in the black hole study. “Not once, but twice, something has caused this black hole to change its spin axis.”

In this new study, scientists detected the change in the black hole’s axis using the latest data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The likely cuprit: A catastrophic collision between two galaxies.
