A stunning Hubble Space Telescope image of Centaurus A, an active galaxy 10 million light-years away. The image showcases a vibrant mix of young blue star clusters, glowing gas clouds, and dark dust lanes swirling around a central supermassive black hole. This galaxy is the result of a galactic collision and its central engine generates intense energy across the electromagnetic spectrum.
