The Heart Of NGC 4261
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
The heart of the elliptical galaxy NGC 4261 holds a secret: a massive black hole. This Hubble Space Telescope image shows gas and dust swirling into it, likely the remnants of a smaller galaxy that fell in ages ago. Such galactic collisions might be how quasars, active galactic nuclei, are created.
