In dust we trust. 😎⁣ ⁣ Centaurus A is the fifth brightest galaxy in the sky -- making it an ideal target for amateur astronomers -- and is famous for the dust lane across its middle and a giant jet blasting away from the supermassive black hole at its center! ⁣ ⁣ 📸Swipe left to peel back the layers of this image and see Centaurus A picture in visible light, X-ray light, infrared light, and radio light. ⁣ ⁣ Each light wavelength tells us something different! Dark dust lanes and young blue star clusters, which crisscross its central region, can be seen in visible and near-infrared light.
