Ten years later, young blue stars were found along the central dust band with the Hubble Space Telescope. [27] The Chandra X-ray Observatory identified in 1999 more than 200 new point sources. [28] Another space telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, found a parallelogram-shaped structure of dust in near infrared images of Centaurus A in 2006 ...

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 spiral galaxy NGC 4622 lies approximately 111 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Centaurus. NGC 4622 is an example of a galaxy with leading spiral arms . [ 2 ] Each spiral arm winds away from the center of the galaxy and ends at an outermost tip that "points" in a certain direction (away from the arm).

NGC 5253 is located within the M83 Subgroup of the Centaurus A/M83 Group, a relatively nearby galaxy group that includes the radio galaxy Centaurus A and the spiral galaxy M83 (the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy). NGC 5253 is considered a dwarf starburst galaxy [6] and also a blue compact galaxy. [7]
