Wordless (well, almost) Wednesday




This is a NASA photo image of “the core of the Whirlpool galaxy M51 (NGC 5149) taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. It shows an immense ring of dust and gas that is thought to surround and hide a giant black hole in the center of the galaxy.” See this site: www.scienceclarified.com/Bi-Ca/Black-Hole.html


(Perhaps you notice the cross image in the center of the lighted area!)
