Number 105 (Story #1), December 4, 1992 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein THE SHARPEST PICTURE YET OF AN ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS has been recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope. The picture shows a doughnut-shaped disk of dust 300 light-years across in NGC 4261, a galaxy in the Virgo cluster. The presence of huge radio jets emanating from the galaxy's core suggests to some astronomers that a black hole lurks there. If so, the disk may be providing the fuel for the black hole.
