This is basically the result of "gravito-magnetism", which has nothing to do with magnets, rather with those aspects of the gravitational field that are analogous to the magnetic field in the theory of light. A rotating body sort of pulls the surrounding spacetime around with it, like an eggbeater in cake mix.

This is powerful evidence for the geometrical interpretation of gravity - the "background free" formalism vs. the "spin-2 graviton on a background manifold" one. Einstein and Weyl would be pleased.

Of course, the sillies who write science reports had to bring up black holes. This has nothing at all to do with black holes directly. When you break-dance, you frame-drag.
