Infrared image of Centaurus A, the closest active galaxy to Earth, showing a twisted parallelogram-shaped dust cloud, likely the result of a smaller galaxy merging with it.  The image was captured by the Spitzer Space Telescope.  The dust cloud is about 1000 light-years across and provides fuel for the supermassive black hole at the galaxy's center.

Messier 83 Messier 83, also known as the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy and NGC 5236, is a barred spiral galaxy located about 15 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra. It's one of the brightest spiral ga...

Still, reddish star forming regions that dot this cosmic pinwheel's spiral arms have suggested another nickname, the Thousand-Ruby Galaxy.

A mere 40,000 light-years across, M83 is a member of a group of galaxies that includes active galaxy #CentaurusA.
