  13. i don't think i've seen it mentioned here so i'll do so.
  14. maybe it's not such a big news; i don't have the
  15. scientific facts.

  17. anyway, nbc news had a short piece 2 days ago that the
  18. space telescope had resolved the nucleus of a galaxy
  19. to a much better resolution than b/f, i think it's
  20. supposed to be a 100 times smaller than previously
  21. believed. from the picture they showed, one can easily
  22. discern the boundary plus a jet-like structure emanating
  23. from one of the poles.
  24.  
  25. apparently, it's highly unlikely to be anything but a black hole.
