The Galaxy Within Centaurus A

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Spitzer Space Telescope's infrared cameras peered into Centaurus A, the closest active galaxy to Earth. This image reveals a twisted, parallelogram-shaped dust cloud, about 1,000 light-years across. Astronomers believe this structure formed from a smaller spiral galaxy merging with Centaurus A.
