Following the destruction of Meridia in Helldivers 2 a black hole has appeared, but not everyone is convinced.
Based on estimates of the black hole's mass, and that of the disrupted star, they were able to come up with an estimate for the black hole's spin -- less than 25 percent the speed of light.
