The Center of Centaurus A

NASA APOD

COSMIC MESSAGE

The active galaxy Centaurus A's central region is a chaotic mix of young blue star clusters, vast glowing gas clouds, and prominent dark dust lanes. This Hubble Space Telescope mosaic combines images in blue, green, and red light to create a natural-color view. Infrared observations from Hubble also suggest a supermassive black hole at its core, with disks of matter spiraling inward.
