... Astronomers have used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to probe the core of the nearest active galaxy to Earth, Centaurus A. Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer was used to peer past the dust to discover a tilted disk of hot gas at the galaxy's center (white bar running diagonally across image center). This 130 light-year diameter disk encircles a suspected black hole which may be one billion times the mass of our Sun. ... Centaurus A (NGC 5128) Fast Facts . ...

... Ever wonder how solar-mass stars form?. ... In order for material to accrete onto a protostar it has to lose angular momentum. The angular momentum of a large natal cloud leads to the formation of a circumstellar disk and inner accretion disk as the cloud collapses. ... Winds generated in the inner disk or close to the stellar surface (we don't know which) expel material along the disk rotation axis. ... This provides the highest resolution observational data on nearby young stars. ...

. More than 100 million years ago, the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 (center) began snacking on its small northern neighbor. Gas stripped from the smaller galaxy feeds a black hole at NGC 1316's center and helps power a bipolar jet of high-energy particles. This flow is essentially undetectable until it crashes into tenuous gas 500,000 light-years from the galaxy, where it produces radio emission (orange) in two large lobes, each 600,000 light-years across.
