Imagine a sphere more than 2 million miles across-eight times the distance from Earth to the Moon-spinning so fast that its surface is traveling at nearly the speed of light. Such an object exists: the supermassive black hole at the center of the spiral galaxy NGC 1365.lthough the black hole in NGC 1365 is currently as massive as several million Suns, it wasn't born that big. It grew over billions of years by accreting stars and gas, and by merging with other black holes. Spin results from a transfer of angular momentum, like playing on a children's swing.
