GRO J1655-40: Evidence for a Spinning Black Hole
A black hole is likely at the center of a swirling whirlpool of hot gas. The gas surrounding GRO J1655-40 flickers at 450 times a second. The central object has a mass seven times that of our Sun. This rapid flickering suggests a black hole spinning rapidly.
