It's no secret that black holes are some of the weirdest objects ... that is caused by gas being stripped away from the galaxy as it floats through the cosmos. Researchers say the similarities ...

The centers of galaxy clusters contain the universe’s most massive galaxies, which, in turn, contains gigantic black holes ranging in mass from millions to tens of billions of times that of the ...

That's because the spin rates reveal something about the black holes' formation history. "Unexpectedly, we found that they were spinning too fast to have been formed by galaxy mergers alone," he said.
