What do you all think?
As amateurs we can't take a radio picture like that -
it's a cutting edge picture never before seen.



It's one of the most amazing discoveries I've ever seen.
I always knew that Centaurus A was our closest radio galaxy
but I don't think anyone realised the extent of the radio transmissions -
to cover millions of light years in such a radio luminous cloud.


cheers
Allan
