The Outer Shells of Centaurus A
Centaurus A is a peculiar galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its core. This image, taken by the Blanco telescope, shows the faint shells of stars surrounding it. These shells are likely the remnants of a smaller galaxy that Centaurus A absorbed. This ongoing collision is shaping the galaxy's structure, giving it its unusual appearance.
