  NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) in Centaurus
NGC 5128 is a unique galaxy in that it has a distinct dust lane girdling its diameter.
It is believed to be the remnant of a spiral galaxy that was merged into the elliptical galaxy NGC 5128.
NGC 5128 is a strong source of radio frequency radiation.

  Centaurus A (NGC 5128)
The second strongest extragalactic radio source in the sky (after Cygnus A) and the nearest radio galaxy to the Milky Way; it lies in the constellation Centaurus, 13 to 15 million light-years away in the M83 group of galaxies.
Cen A’s optical counterpart, discovered by James Dunlop in 1826, is an unusual elliptical galaxy (NGC 5128) bisected by a dark circumgalactic dust belt that appears to be debris from a merger between the elliptical and at least one spiral galaxy over the past few billion years.
The most active radio emission, however, is associated with Cen A’s compact core which is the foremost example of a radio-loud active galactic nucleus and, at only 10 light-days across, the smallest known extragalactic radio source.

NGC 5128, Centaurus A, Cen A, Bennett 60
Cen A, also known as NGC 5128, is also unusual compared to an average elliptical galaxy because it contains a higher proportion of young blue stars and is a very strong source of radio emission.
Centauraus A is the closest active galaxy: together with NGC 4945 and M 83, it forms part of a small group of galaxies 13 million lightyears away.

The Sculptor group is the nearest group of galaxies to the Local Group and is dominated by five galaxies, four spiral - NGC 247, 253, 300 and 7793 and one irregular - NGC 55.
This is a neighbouring group of galaxies in Centaurus and is dominated by the two spiral galaxies M83 and NGC 4945 and the large lenticular galaxy NGC 5128.
NGC 5128 is one of the brightest nearby galaxies and it is a powerful source of radio waves (radio astronomers call the galaxy Centaurus A).

 Galaxy Centaurus A / NGC 5128
In 1949, NGC 5128 was found to be a powerful radio galaxy by early radio astronomers (which was first suggested by John Bolton, Gorden Stanley, and Bruce Slee in Nature, I64, 101, 1949; according to Baade and Minkowski, 1954, pp.
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.
Found to be the closest "radio-loud" galaxy to the Solar System (José Luis Sérsic, 1960), its radio emissions comes from two giant lobes that extend over a million light-years (ly), roughly at right angles to the galaxy's dark dust band.
