APOD 4.3

This picture is what the night sky would look like if we could see the radio waves being emitted by a black hole in the Centaurus A galaxy. The waves are invisible to the human eye, but their distribution covers a huge area of the sky. The galaxy is located in the constellation Centaurus. The dots in the background represent not stars, but rather x-ray emitting galaxies.
