| ] The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky] Way Galaxy is heftier than thought and rotates at an
 ] amazing clip, new research shows.
 ]
 ] For years scientists said the black hole contained about
 ] 2.6 million times the mass of the Sun. They now believe
 ] the figure is somewhere between 3.2 million and 4 million
 ] solar masses.
 ]
 ] And a new study suggests all that mass, confined to an
 ] area about 10 times smaller than Earth's orbit around the
 ] Sun, spins around about once every 11 minutes.
 [ Damn... that's some serious angular momentum... -k] New Twists on the Milky Way's Big Black Hole |
