Centaurus A is located approximately 4° north of Omega Centauri (a globular cluster visible with the naked eye). [14] Because the galaxy has a high surface brightness and relatively large angular size, it is an ideal target for amateur astronomy observations.
It is a member of the Centaurus Cluster of galaxies, belonging to the section designated "Cen30". The morphological classification is SA(s)c, [4] which indicates it is a pure spiral galaxy with relatively loosely wound arms. [5] During 1999, this galaxy was the subject of an extended study using the Hubble Space Telescope to locate Cepheid ...

The atlas includes the nearby radio galaxies M87 (Arp 152) and Centaurus A (Arp 153). The peculiar associations present in the catalogue are now interpreted as galaxy mergers or non-interacting line-of-sight overlap, though Arp disputed that idea, claiming that apparent associations were examples of ejections.
The Centaurus A/M83 Group is a complex group of galaxies in the constellations Hydra, Centaurus, and Virgo.The group may be roughly divided into two subgroups. The Cen A Subgroup, at a distance of 11.9 Mly (3.66 Mpc), is centered on Centaurus A, a nearby radio galaxy. [3]

Spiral galaxy UGC 12591 is classified as an S0/Sa galaxy. [1]The Hubble sequence is a morphological classification scheme for galaxies invented by Edwin Hubble in 1926. [2] [3] It is often known colloquially as the “Hubble tuning-fork” because of the shape in which it is traditionally represented.
