Image of the Day: Strange Red Galaxy with a Monster Black Hole 100 Million X's Sun

Image of the Day: Strange Red Galaxy with a Monster Black Hole 100 Million X's Sun: "A monster black hole 100 million times the mass of the Sun is feeding off gas, dust and a ring of stars at the centre of Galaxy NGC-1097 50 million light-years away. The star-ringed black hole forms the eye of the galaxy which was photographed by the US space agency's Spitzer Space Telescope in California."
