CENTAURUS A

Centaurus A sports a warped central disk of gas and dust, which is evidence of a past collision and merger with another galaxy. It also has an active galactic nucleus that periodically emits jets. It is the fifth brightest galaxy in the sky and only about 13 million light-years away from Earth, making it an ideal target to study an active galactic nucleus – a supermassive black hole emitting jets and winds – with NASA's upcoming James Webb Space Telescope. Merging X-ray data (blue) from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory with microwave (orange) and visible images reveals the jets and radio-emitting lobes emanating from Centaurus A's central black hole.

🚀 After processing the photo that came from the shooting instruction I gave to the CHI-1 telescope in Telescope.live, I managed to get this frame by composing the X-ray, Infrared and Radio lights photos taken by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.
