NGC5128 Centaurus A
Centaurus A / NGC5128 at a distance of cca 11M LY is the result of a merger between two smaller galaxies. In the center of the dust belt we see evolved red stars while other newer stars can be observed in the bluish area outside lower right. NGC5128 is the fifth brightest galaxy and currently comes relatively near of the zenith in our NZ skies.
