Summary

Description
العربية: صُورة مُركبة مُلونة لِمجرَّة قنطورس A، تكشف الفُصُوص والانبعاثات الصادرة من الثُقب الأسود النشط في قلب هذه المجرَّة. رُكِّبت هذه الصُورة من مججموعةٍ من الصُور التي حصل عليها العُلماء بِواسطة ثلاثة أدوات، يعملُ كُلٌ منها على طول موجاتٍ مُختلفةٍ عن الأُخرى.
English: Colour composite image of Centaurus A, revealing the lobes and jets emanating from the active galaxy’s central black hole. This is a composite of images obtained with three instruments, operating at very different wavelengths. The 870-micron submillimetre data, from LABOCA on APEX, are shown in orange. X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are shown in blue. Visible light data from the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on the MPG/ESO 2.2 m telescope located at La Silla, Chile, show the background stars and the galaxy’s characteristic dust lane in close to "true colour".
Français : Image composite en couleurs de Centaurus A, révélant les lobes et les jets émanant du trou noir central de cette galaxie active. Il s'agit d’une composition d’images obtenues avec trois instruments fonctionnant à des longueurs d'onde très différentes. Les données submillimétriques à 870 microns, provenant de l'instrument LABOCA sur l'APEX, sont représentées en orange. Les données de rayons X de l'observatoire de rayons X Chandra apparaissent en bleu. Les données en lumière visible de la caméra WFI (Wide Field Imager) sur le télescope MPG/ESO de 2,2 m situé à La Silla, au Chili, montrent les étoiles en arrière-plan et la bande de poussière caractéristique de la galaxie dans des couleurs proches des "vraies couleurs".
