The black hole at the center of the Milky Way is spinning so fast, it's squishing space-time down like a football

• Scientists found that the black hole at the center of our galaxy is spinning so fast its dragging space-time along. 
• Don't worry. The distortion won't affect us.
• But it will help scientists learn more about how galaxies form and evolve.

A team of scientists has discovered that the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning so fast that it's squishing space-time.

Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory telescope, a team of physicists calculated the speed at which the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, is spinning, publishing their findings last month in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
