Centaurus a

The galaxy’s bulge, on the other han contains mostly evolved red stars. The colorful galaxy portrait is a composite of image data from space- and ground-based telescopes large and small. The twisted shapes are caused by very powerful jets (some are a million light years long!).

The sideways S portion is the galaxy’s dust lane. It exemplifies a type of radio galaxy that consists of an optical galaxy located at the centre of an immensely larger two-lobed radio source. Its active center has been well studied.

It is 10–million light-years away. They were said to be wil savage, and lustful. The group may be roughly divided into two subgroups. Well-phrased solos, unexpected melodic interludes, and some very interesting rhythms add a lot of depth and longevity to this album.

Dancing Dwarf Galaxies Deepen Dark Matter Mystery. Many large galaxies—our Milky Way among them—are orbited by a retinue of smaller, fainter companions: dwarf galaxies. These jets extend for a million light years in each direction.

This collision is responsible for an enormous number of new stars that are currently being formed.

Gas clouds of the two original galaxies are smashing together, compressing some areas of the gas which are then dense enough to further collapse due to their elevated density. A prominent X-ray jet extending for 10light years points to the upper left in the image, with a shorter counterjet aimed in the opposite direction. Cen A has a supermassive black hole at its centre that has million times the mass of the Sun. The true nature of the galaxy is a matter of scientific debate and its type has been classified as either a lenticular or giant elliptical galaxy. Its spherical brightness is much like an elliptical galaxy, and yet its dark and wide dust lane is an extreme version of a spiral galaxy seen edge-on.

The jets of gas span tens of thousands of light-years. As the gas rams into the thinner gas between stars, it cools and emits copious amounts of radio waves (orange). It has been marked as unusual since shortly after its discovery in the 19th century due to a thick lane of dust across its centre – an unusual feature for an elliptical galaxy.

The centaurs were usually said to have been born of Ixion and Nephele (the cloud made in the image of Hera). Centaur definition, one of a race of monsters having the hea trunk, and arms of a man, and the body and legs of a horse. Daily Sun, Earth and Science News Need to Catch Up? The optical image shows dark lanes of dust across the center of the galaxy, which are probably the result of a collision with a smaller galaxy.

These regions are giving birth to thousands of new stars. The two brightest stars in this constellation, Alpha and Beta Centauri, are the 4th and 11th brightest stars in the sky, respectively. Omega Centauri is the brightest globular cluster. The bright jet extending out from the nucleus to the upper left is due to explosive or highly energetic activity around the black hole which ejects matter at high speeds from the vicinity of the black hole.

A faint counter jet extending to the lower right can also be seen.

This jet is probably pointing away from us. At its heart lies a black hole with a mass of million suns. So I have had similar issues where I would have breakouts (usually around my period) and then be left with these really bright red spots for literally months.
