GALAXIES

Centaurus A

Centaurus A or NGC 5128 is a galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus. It's is located 10-16 million light yeas away. Is one of the closest radio galaxies to Earth and is the fifth-brightest in the sky. The center of the galaxy contains a supermassive black hole with a mass of 55 million solar masses, which ejects a relativistic jet that is responsible for emissions in the X-ray and radio wavelengths.
