Galaxy NGC 4261; Hubble Space Telescope image 1992, showing a giant disk of cold gas and dust fuelling a possible black hole at the core of the galaxy. Estimated to be 300 light years across, the disk is tipped enough (about 60 degrees) to provide astronomers with a clear view of its bright hub, which presumably harbours the black hole.
