The black hole at the center of the Milky Way, known as Sagittarius A*, is spinning so fast that it is dragging space-time along with it, squishing it down like a football. This discovery, made by scientists using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory telescope, provides insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies. While the distortion won't affect Earth, understanding black holes can help scientists better understand our own galaxy.
