✨At the core of radio galaxy Centaurus A is a super massive black hole, hundreds of millions of times the mass of the Sun. From above and below this violent gravity well, jets of matter shoot out at near light speed in two huge plumes. Each plume is over a million light years long, 10 Milky Way galaxies would fit along each plume‘s length✨
