And they spin really, really quickly. Determining just how quickly is key to understanding how they affect their immediate vicinity and the galaxies that surround them. A new paper by Tegan Thomas of the University of Virginia and her colleagues, available on the arXiv preprint server, has good news and bad news on that front. The bad news is that we currently can&#8217;t determine how fast black holes are actually spinning. The good news is that, hopefully in the next few years, we will have a new tool that will allow us to do so.<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2026-07-black-hole-ultimate-space.html\">Go to Source<\/a><br \/>\nAuthor: <\/p>\n<div>The latest science news on astronomy, astrobiology,  and space exploration from Phys.org.<\/div>\n<hr>\n<p>SPACEPERIUM CORPS &#038; RESEARCH CONTRIBUTORS<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Please comment below with research and links for fellow members to conduct further research into this area.<br \/>\nYou must be registered and signed into SPACEPERIUM BLOG in order to leave your comment and get credited!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To measure a black hole&#8217;s ultimate spin, we have to go to space Despite their depiction as massive monsters that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"registered_only","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spaceperium-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3893\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
