'Wobbling black hole' most extreme example ever detected

In February 2021, researchers announced the discovery of a "wobbling" black hole, which is one of the most extreme examples of a black hole's behavior ever observed. The black hole, located in the galaxy NGC 1332, was found to be wobbling like a spinning top as it devoured material from a nearby companion star. This caused the black hole to emit X-rays at a varying rate, which was detected by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The researchers believe that this wobbling is caused by the black hole's intense gravity warping the fabric of space-time around it, causing the companion star's orbital plane to tilt. This discovery provides further evidence of the extreme conditions that can exist near a black hole, and could help scientists better understand the behavior of these mysterious objects.
