Without more data, a black hole's origins can be 'spun' in any direction Clues to a black hole's origins can be found in the way it spins, which is especially true for binaries — when two black holes circle close together before merging. The spin and tilt of the respective black holes just before they merge can reveal… Read more at nsf.gov
