| A good way of readily finding the Cross is to remember that there are two prominent stars in Centaurus that point directly to it. |

| Now, astronomers have found further evidence that Centaurus A is a maelstrom of violence. |
| Moreover, Centaurus A has an active nucleus, which emits a radio jet, shown here in blue. |
| This cluster and Omega Centauri, a globular star cluster in Centaurus, are the two nearest of all the globular clusters. |
| Centaurus A, which is located at 12 millions light-years, is one of the closest active galactic nuclei. |
