Summary

Description
العربية: صُورة مُركبة مُلونة لِمجرَّة قنطورس A، تكشف الفُصُوص والانبعاثات الصادرة من الثُقب الأسود النشط في قلب هذه المجرَّة. رُكِّبت هذه الصُورة من مججموعةٍ من الصُور التي حصل عليها العُلماء بِواسطة ثلاثة أدوات، يعملُ كُلٌ منها على طول موجاتٍ مُختلفةٍ عن الأُخرى.
English: Colour composite image of Centaurus A, revealing the lobes and jets emanating from the active galaxy’s central black hole. This is a composite of images obtained with three instruments, operating at very different wavelengths. The 870-micron submillimetre data, from LABOCA on APEX, are shown in orange. X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are shown in blue. Visible light data from the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on the MPG/ESO 2.2 m telescope located at La Silla, Chile, show the background stars and the galaxy’s characteristic dust lane in close to "true colour".
