NGC 5128
In the southern constellation Centaurus (Centaur) is the radio galaxy of the same name Centaurus A, catalog NGC 5128. Due to its proximity to about 17 million Lj, it has been intensively investigated and at its core a black hole of about 55 million solar masses was detected. The unusual shape and high star formation is explained by the collision with another galaxy some 100 million years ago.
