APOD 2.3

I chose to write about this picture because of the facts that were provided along with it and because of how it looks. Not only does this picture simply look amazing but what is actually going on in it is even more amazing. This is a picture of Centaurus A in multiple parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is even better though because it is the result of 2 galaxies colliding and one being annihilated by the other. The simple of thought of this ever occurring is ridiculous, but due to the fact that it actually did occur and can be seen in this picture is astounding and that is why I chose to write about it.
