Black holes, those voracious drains in space, may also spin as they gobble--dragging the fabric of the cosmos around with them, NASA scientists said on Monday. This is the first time astronomers have found evidence that black holes might spin too. Their gravitational pull is so great that nothing, not even light, can escape. So astronomers have concentrated on observing material just as it falls into the hole.
