The Doomed Dust Disk of NGC 7052
The elliptical galaxy NGC 7052 has an unusual center, featuring a massive dust disk. This disk is probably the remnant of a titanic collision between galaxies. Its spin indicates the tremendous gravity of a massive central black hole. Analysis of this Hubble Space Telescope photo shows the disk is thousands of light-years across and rotating at over 150 kilometers per second.
