Nothing wrong with having an indepth 3 or 4 part article on any given galaxy. In reality, I think it would be a good idea for those new to astronomy. Educate there is a lot more to these beauties than just bright lights, and the fact we are still learning more every month! Tammy…

As Jon and Mike have mentioned, there's even more to the story than what's in the story! More than just a pretty picture, huh?

I appreciate the detailed description of several aspects of this peculiar galaxy. With regard to its recent association with UHECRs, you may want to check out the recent 2008 paper by Zew et al ("Galaxies Correlating with Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays" @ arXiv:0806.3470v1) which finds 20 out of 27 of the most energetic cosmic rays correlating with active galactic nuclei (including Cen A with one whopping 70 Eev event!). Definitely a monster lurks in the heart of this galaxy. Also, kudos to Mike Sidonio for the great, deep image. Thanks for the link to his Cen A pages. These images blew me away.
