Description: Centaurus A, at a distance of 5 Mpc, is the closest powerful radio galaxy. The general radio jet and the knots within the jet line up remarkably well with the X-ray jet recently found from Einstein Observatory observations. The structure shown here is usually referred to as the "inner-lobes" to differentiate it from the much larger ~1 degree structure seen further out.
