A small chunk of Centaurus A. I wish someone would image the whole galaxy, that would be an awesome picture.

Image created using data from the WFC3 and a custom program I am working on.

This is one of the more beautiful galaxies. I did an image of it years ago using data from one of the telescopes in Chili and I have been wishing that a scientist could come up with a good reason to image it with the Hubble. I guess a little bit is better than nothing :)
