“Evidence for Frame Dragging Black Holes” is copyrighted by J. Bergeron, Sky & Telescope Magazine. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteBlack holes do more than just pull things in. They can also spin the space around them, an effect called frame-dragging. This image shows a system where matter is thought to be caught and spun by a black hole. Data from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer helped measure this effect, confirming predictions for how matter behaves near massive, fast-spinning objects.
