They calculate that at the present rate of flow, all the hydrogen should have been drained from the nucleus in a mere 10 million to 100 million years, which is only a tiny part of the life span of a galaxy. Since the nucleus is not drained, its hydrogen must be replenished somehow. Rougoor and Oort suggest that the replenishing hydrogen may come from the corona of thinly scattered hydrogen atoms that surrounds...
