	Bristol Centaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like most Bristol Engines designs, the Centaurus was based on the mechanicals of an earlier design, in this case the "classic" 5.75 in (146 mm) piston from their original 1918 Jupiter.
		The capacity of the Centaurus was increased by placing the pistons in a longer-stroke cylinder, and moving to two rows of nine cylinders instead of two rows of seven.
		In fact, the Centaurus did not see any use until near the end of the war, first appearing on an upscaled version of the Vickers Wellington, the Warwick.

	Galaxy Centaurus A / NGC 5128
		It then shared the additional designation of Centaurus A, which had been determined to be the brightest radio source in the direction of (13:25:28-43:1:11 J2000; and 13:25:27.6-43:1:8.8, ICRS 2000) of Constellation Centaurus, the Centaur, north of globular cluster Omega Centauri (NGC 5139) and west of Mu Centauri -- map.
		Centaurus A's broad band of dust and cold gas is bisected at an angle by opposing jets of high-energy particles blasting away from the supermassive fl hole at its core.
		Centaurus A's central region is also seen to be teeming with smaller x-ray sources, which are likely to be are to be neutron stars and stellar-mass fl holes that are accreting material from stellar companions (Kraft et al, 2001).

	Writer's Guide to the PR Universe - Centaurus Megazord
		Hardtochoke, Centaurus launched from the lower portion of the Zenith Carrierzord in the form of five independent land vehicles known as C-Zords.
		When Maya called for Centaurus, Zenith Carrierzord was standing elsewhere when a red triangle in its Centaurus symbol lit up, and the five C-Zords simultaneously launched into the air from their holding bays, then landed and raced across the terrain.
		Stratoforce and Centaurus, respectively, charged the Megazord with gold energy, which it channeled toward the monster as a large stream of fire, roasting and dissolving the monster.

		Centaurus A also was largely ignored because of the lack of large optical telescopes in the southern hemisphere, where this galaxy can be seen.
		1954: Studying Centaurus A with telescopes at Palomar Observatory in California, Walter Baade and Rudolph Minkowski confirmed that it is a galaxy.
		The pair also proposed that the peculiar structure of Centaurus A - with a bar of dark dust bisecting the galaxy - is the result of a merger between two galaxies, a giant elliptical and a small spiral.

		Centaurus A, also known as NGC 5128, is a peculiar galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus.
		Astronomers now believe that Centaurus A is the remnant of an intergalactic collision, in which a dusty spiral galaxy and a bright elliptical galaxy merged hundreds of millions of years ago.
		Centaurus A has a prominent dust lane that absorbs the ultraviolet light from the stars in the galaxy.

		Amateur astronomers often dub Centaurus A "the hamburger galaxy" for its curious appearance in the eyepiece.
		The peaceful appearance of Centaurus A in a small telescope is a reminder of two complementary truths: That behind much of the beauty of the sky lies incomprehensible power and fury, and that maelstrom and destruction can produce a very tranquil beauty.

		This effect against stars in our own galaxy is known as interstellar reddening, though the effect in galaxies is complicated by the fact that some of the light is not in fact absorbed but scattered in different directions upon encountering a dust grain.
		Centaurus A is an unusually colorful galaxy; note the very blue star clusters along the edges of the dust lane, most prominent in the blue-light picture.
		This is widely held to be an elliptical galaxy that has acquired a spiral by merger, with the broad and gas-rich dust lane being the most visible debris of the collision.
