Summary edit

Description
English: A breakdown of a multi-wavelength image of galaxy Centaurus A shows light collected by Hubble (visible), Chandra (X-ray), Spitzer (infrared), and the Very Large Array (radio). Centaurus A's dusty core is apparent in visible light, but its jets are best viewed in X-ray and radio light. With upcoming observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope in infrared light, researchers hope to better pinpoint the mass of the galaxy's central supermassive black hole as well as evidence that shows where the jets were ejected.
