Description
Spinning black hole, illustration. One consequence of Einstein's theory of relativity is that spinning black holes drag space with them as they spin, making it possible for particles to orbit nearer to the black hole. A possible explanation for differences in spin among stellar black holes is that they are born spinning at different rates. Another is that the gas flowing into the black hole speeds up its spin. Black hole spin has been observed by the Chandra and XMM-Newton telescopes.
