Chandra X-ray Observatory | Quick Look: Telescopes Show the Milky Way's Black Hole is Ready for a Kick @ChandraXray | Uploaded 8 months ago | Updated 1 day ago

As the black hole spins, it pulls matter and spacetime with it.
This leads to the black hole looking more like an American football from some angles.
