A big black hole lurks at the center of the small galaxy Henize 2-10, shown here in a combination of visible light, radio waves, and X-rays. The X-rays, shown in purple, are concentrated at the galaxy's center, near the black hole, which is about one million times as massive as the Sun. Henize 2-10 is an irregular galaxy, which means it has no definable shape. Although it is only three percent the size of the Milky Way, it is giving birth to many more stars.
