Аннотация:The presence of the periodicity P0 = 160.0101±0.0001 min in the brightness variations of active galactic nuclei is often subjected to criticism by some astrophysicists. With the aim to check the P0-effect, an extensive series of photometric observations of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 was obtained in 1987 - 1994 using two Crimean reflectors. These new data confirmed the presence of the P0-periodicity with the stable (over 26 yr) initial phase and the mean harmonic amplitude ≍7 mmag (in the V filter). This conclusion is supported by analysis of the X-ray data (1975 - 1991) obtained by satellites Ariel-5, EXOSAT and Ginga. Since just the same period has been detected earlier in the power spectrum of global oscillations of the Sun, the conclusion is drawn about its cosmological origin.
