COSMIC MESSAGE
The center of the active galaxy Centaurus A is hidden from optical view by stars, gas, and dust. However, radio and X-ray telescopes can trace a remarkable jet of high-energy particles streaming from its core. This composite image shows the radio emission in red and X-rays in blue, revealing the inner 4,000 light-years of the jet.
