NGC 4151 was monitored with the international Ultraviolet Explorer (UE) satellite and the results compared with those from photograph measurements made at the Royal Greenwich Observatory and X-ray observations) (2-10keV) made with the SSI on Ariel 5 and the MPC (Einstein Laboratory). Explanations were developed for the erratic behavior of the UV light curve and the shape of the continuum. It is concludes that X-rays come from a much smaller region than the UV photons and that energetic events occurring in the two wavelength bands are not correlated or that the manifestations of the same event are separated by a few, or more than 10 to 15 days. Implications of these results to current theoretical models are discussed.
