The nucleus of the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51). The Cross marks the location of the black hole at the center of the galaxy. The cross was first interpreted as two dustrings circling the nucleus. It was later determined to simply be foreground dust lanes silhouetted by the active nucleus. Bright ionization cones can be seen extending perpendicular to the largest dust feature.

I found it very interesting and a real blessing, you need to watch all 5 parts. Louis Giglio shares insights from astronomy that reveal God the Creator and Sustainer. This is an amazing video of how big our God is. Make sure to watch all 5 of these wonderful videos. Click on the comments and let me know what you think.
