Still, reddish star forming regions that dot this cosmic pinwheel's spiral arms have suggested another nickname, the Thousand-Ruby Galaxy.
A mere 40,000 light-years across, smaller than the Milky Way, M83 is a member of a group of galaxies that includes active galaxy #CentaurusA.
Les jets et les coquilles de Centaurus A - Astronomy Picture of the Day - 11/12/2024
Quelle est la galaxie active la plus proche de la planète Terre ? Il s'agit de Centaurus A, répertoriée sous le nom de NGC 5128, qui n'est distante que de 12 millions d'années-lumière...

An article published in "The Astrophysical Journal" reports the results of X-ray observations of the jets emitted by the supermassive black hole at the center of the Centaurus A galaxy. A team of researchers used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to find a V-shaped structure that indicates that one of the jets hit something whose nature is uncertain.

Astrophotographer Rolf Olsen used a surprisingly small telescope to capture this incredible image of the nearby galaxy Centaurus A. Over 43 nights, he collected a mind-blowing 120 hours of exposure data to reveal the galaxy's chaotic beauty.
Centaurus A has a turbulent past, evident in the dark dust lane, massive shells of material, and faint jets blasting from its central black hole. A stunning testament to the power of both dedication and cosmic collisions! ✨
