Weitere Informationen unter www.ngc1365.de A material accelerator ring was discovered in the centre of the galaxy NGC1365. More information at www.ngc1365.de The text underneath the picture at http://vsnet.ngc1365.de/BlickinsZentrum.htm reads: The galaxy NGC1365 unveils the view to the central nucleus and its way of functioning. The dark cloud streams are represented bright in the negative. The old stellar matter is located in the centre. The location of origin of the two dark cloud streams is at the two flat sides of the oval central ring. The dark cloud streams don't follow the bow of the central oval, but develop into so-called eruption regions. From here, the dark cloud streams are ejected out of the central region. Parts of the old stellar matter are thrown out along with this.
