The heavily obscured centre of Centaurus A
A small area in the direction of the heavily obscured centre of the peculiar radio galaxy Centaurus A, as seen in visual light. It measures about 80 x 80 arcsec 2, or 4400 x 4400 light-year 2 at the distance of this galaxy, and has been reproduced from exposures made with the FORS2 multi-mode instrument at the 8.2-m VLT KUEYEN telescope at Paranal.
