Dusty Galaxy Centaurus A Credit:
Centaurus A is one of the most unusual galaxies known, marked by dramatic dust lanes across its center. These dust lanes are so thick they almost completely obscure the galaxy's core in visible light. Centaurus A also contains a higher proportion of young blue stars and is a strong source of radio emission.
