Hubble image of disc and black hole in NGC 7052
Black hole. Hubble space telescope (HST) optical image of a massive black hole in the centre of the elliptical galaxy NGC 7052. Surrounding the galaxy is a 3, 700 light-year (LY) diameter dust disc (brown). The bright spot (white, centre) is light from stars crowded around the black hole due to its powerful gravitational pull. This black hole is about 300 million times the mass of our Sun. The disc rotates 341, 000 miles per hour; the dust may come from an ancient galaxy collision. NGC 7052 in the constellation Vulpecula is 191 million LY from Earth. Image by HST Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2; details 50 LY across are seen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring beauty and mystery of our universe. Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, it reveals a mesmerizing image of NGC 7052, an elliptical galaxy located 191 million light-years away in the constellation Vulpecula. At the heart of this celestial wonder lies a massive black hole, approximately 300 million times more massive than our Sun. Its immense gravitational pull has caused stars to gather around it, creating a brilliant white spot at its center. This remarkable phenomenon is a testament to the extraordinary forces at play within our cosmos. Surrounding NGC 7052 is a vast dust disc spanning an impressive diameter of 3,700 light-years. The brown hues emanating from this disc hint at its ancient origins, possibly resulting from a collision between galaxies long ago. As it rotates at an astonishing speed of 341,000 miles per hour, it serves as both a reminder of cosmic evolution and an enigma waiting to be unraveled. The intricate details captured in this image are truly breathtaking; even small features just 50 light-years across can be observed with stunning clarity. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about the universe we inhabit and our relentless pursuit of knowledge in fields like astronomy and cosmology. This remarkable photograph stands as yet another triumph for science and reminds us that there is still so much left to discover beyond our own planet Earth.
