NGC 5128 Centaurus A Galaxy
Centaurus A
Also known as NGC 5128 or Caldwell 77 is a galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus situated at approximately 16 million light-years away. It was discovered in 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop from his home in Parramatta, in New South Wales, Australia. This Galaxy is a favourite of mine as I love its bright active nucleus.
