“Peculiar Elliptical Galaxy Centaurus A” is copyrighted by Roberto Colombari. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteCentaurus A, or NGC 5128, is an elliptical galaxy with unusual, dramatic dust lanes across its center. These lanes are so thick they almost completely obscure the galaxy's core in visible light. This is peculiar because elliptical galaxies typically have little dark dust. Centaurus A also contains an active galactic nucleus.
