Why is this black hole wobbling so fast? It's due to frame dragging around the black hole! V404 Cygni is an Xray binary star system with a 9 solar mass black hole that's emitting a powerful jet. During its 2015 outburst, the precessing black hole was found to be wobbling much faster than expected. It turns out the black hole is spinning so fast, it's literally dragging the spacetime around it!
