Centaurus A is a most unusual galaxy, set in a rich part of the southern sky. not only are there plenty of stars here to catch the eye, but the region is rich in galaxies as well. One of the nearer galaxies, at 13 million light years away, Centaurus A is the most powerful nearby radio source and is also a copious source of X- and gamma rays as well as visible and infrared radiation.
