By looking deep into space, the Hubble has been able to photograph the
past. Incredibly, with the help of Hubble, astronomers have been able to
see what the universe looked like 600 million years after the Big Bang.
It is believed that the firestorm of starbirth along the dark dust rift
of Centaurus A is a result of a violent collision. Over 100 star
formations have been identified here, mostly young stars in blue. The
older, more evolved stars reside in the bulge of the galaxy, which also
contains a super massive black hole at its center that is swallowing up a
spiral galaxy containing millions of stars.
