Holland Ford a Johns Hopkins University and space Telescope science Institute astronomer said images captured by the Hubble space Telescope show a distinct x silhouetted against the nucleus or Center of a spiral Galaxy known formally As m51. A the x is due to absorption by dust and Marks the exact position of the nuclear Black Hole Quot Ford said in an interview. The astronomer said the Structure of dust Gas and escaping radiation around the Black Hole forms a shape that would resemble two ice Cream Cones and a doughnut. As seen from the orbiting space Telescope the Sharp Points of the two Cones appear to be placed into the Hole of the doughnut from opposite sides Ford said. A Black Hole is a concentration of matter so dense that it creates a gravitational Field powerful enough to prevent even Light from escaping. The gravitational and frictional forces set up by the Black Hole Are thought to heat Gas and dust around the Hole. This can give off Light and radiation that can be detected. From Earth Ford said the doughnut is seen Edge on and the Black Hole would be at the very Center. In the giant a Ford said the doughnut would be one  but just what causes the second  of the x is Uncertain. A heavy accumulation of dust obscures the View of Light or radiation from within the doughnut or torus surrounding the Black Hole thus causing the doughnut to appear As a dark bar. Intense radiation however is jetting out from the doughnut Center forming the two Cone shaped pathways on either Side of the doughnut. This radiation is Bright in both visible and radio frequencies Ford said. M51 is located about 20 million Light years away and is one of the brightest galaxies in the Spring sky. The Galaxy is about a third of the Width of the full Moon and in this season sets Early in the evening in the Northern sky Ford said. M51 a a spiral Galaxy about the size and shape of the Milky Way which includes the Sun a was formally recorded in Star books kept by astronomers in the 1800s. The object became known As the Whirlpool Galaxy he said because of the spiral shape detected by Early Telescope observers. Ford said the images of m$1 give the clearest picture yet of the torus of dust and Gas that surrounds a Black Hole. Ford reported on his findings at a meeting in Columbus Ohio of the american astronomical society. X Marks the spot of a possible Black Hole in faraway m51 Galaxy.
