Shooting out from the very core of Centaurus A is a jet of energy
ploughing through the galaxy at almost the speed of light. The
jet originates from, and is powered by, a giant black hole with
the mass of a billion Suns. Scattered
throughout the galaxy we also see dozens of X-ray blobs. This is X-ray
light from ultra-hot gas that is falling into Centaurus A's many stellar mass
black holes.
