After conducting research, scientists came to the conclusion that the supermassive black hole at the center of the nearby galaxy M87 is still rotating.

After analyzing images taken over more than 20 years, an international research team says it has direct evidence that the black hole is rotating. NHK reported this.

It was noted that astronomers, using a network of radio telescopes around the world, found a black hole in the M87 galaxy, located 55 million light years from Earth.

The resulting images show a jet of matter ejected from the black hole at nearly the speed of light. The team said that analysis of the data showed that the direction of the jet changes on about an 11-year cycle.

In addition, the data obtained coincided with the results of a supercomputer simulation conducted by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. So the researchers say their results are the first direct evidence that a black hole is rotating.

It was previously reported that scientists from Imperial College London were the first to create a black hole accretion disk in the laboratory.
