An* (AP) — Using a new. keener radio telescope, astronomers have found com pelling evidence (or the existence ol perhaps the biggest black hole ever found, with a mass equal to 40 million suns. The Very Long Base Array telescope found a disk of dust and gas rotating at up to 660 miles per second in the center of a galaxy 21 million light years from Earth. "We think this is the best evi dence yet tor a massive black hole." said James Mo/an o! the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., leader of a team of Japanese and American astronomers Moran announced the discov ery Tuesday at the national meeting of the American Astro nomical Society. It was also the cover story in today's issue of the science magazine Nature The black hole discovery is the first major success of the VLBA radio telescope, which was completed by the National Science Foundation in 1993 at a cost of $85 million. The telescope is actually a set of 10 radio telescope dishes stretching from the Virgin Islands to Hawaii. The array acts as a single unit and has a radio acuity that far surpasses the visual acuity of the Hubble Space Tele scope
