Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>Scientists from the Indian Space Research Organization’s AstroSat and NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory believe that the discovery of this black hole may add significantly to understanding how galaxies are formed in the universe.<\/p>\n

An international team of astronomers has confirmed the discovery of a black hole which spins very close to the limit set by Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, which means that it spins close to the speed of light, according to Business Insider.<\/p>\n

The black hole was first tracked in the binary stellar system 4U 1630\u221247 in 2016 by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)’s AstroSat, in coordination with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s Chandra X-ray Observatory.<\/p>\n

In this context, Business Insider quoted Rodrigo Nemmen, one of the lead authors of the research, as saying that Einstein’s theory of relativity “further implies that if a black hole is spinning that fast, then it is capable of making space itself rotate.” READ MORE: Astronomers Discover Monster Black Hole the Size of 20 Billion Suns<\/p>\n

Another lead author, Mayukh Pahari, said in turn that the spin rate is a tricky task which “can be done only by high-quality X-ray observations in the correct state of the binary stellar system, in which the black hole is a gobbling matter from its companion star.”<\/p>\n

Astronomers said that the discovery of the black hole, which is only one of five having an accurately measured high spin rate, may contribute greatly to uncovering the truth about the origin of the Universe.<\/p>\n
