NASA's Fermi Telescope Resolves Radio Galaxy Centaurus A

NASA's Fermi Telescope Resolves Radio Galaxy Centaurus A

NASA's image library records NASA's Fermi Telescope Resolves Radio Galaxy Centaurus A.

WHY IT’S INTERESTING

NASA release April 1, 2010 Fermi's Large Area Telescope resolved high-energy gamma rays from an extended region around the active galaxy Centaurus A. The emission corresponds to million-light-year-wide radio-emitting gas thrown out by the galaxy's supersized black hole. This inset shows an optical/gamma-ray composite of the galaxy and its location
