Radio galaxy
Fornax A galaxy. Optical image of the radio galaxy Fornax A (NGC 1316) with the smaller galaxy NGC 1317 above it. North is at top. Fornax A is a powerful source of radio waves which extends far beyond the visible confines of the galaxy. These galaxies are members of the Fornax cluster, a gravitationally linked group of 18 galaxies which lies around 70 million light years from Earth in the constellation Fornax. The radio emission of Fornax A is powered by a massive black hole at the galaxys centre. There is evidence that Fornax A has engulfed smaller members of the cluster in the past, and material from these galaxies falling onto the black hole powers the radio emission

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring beauty and complexity of the Fornax A galaxy, also known as NGC 1316. Radiating powerfully with radio waves that stretch far beyond its visible boundaries, Fornax A is a true cosmic phenomenon. Positioned above it is the smaller galaxy NGC 1317, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this celestial scene. Both galaxies are part of the larger Fornax cluster, a gravitational gathering of 18 galaxies located approximately 70 million light years away from our planet in the constellation Fornax. The immense radio emission emanating from Fornax A can be attributed to its central feature: a massive black hole. This colossal entity acts as an engine for this galactic powerhouse, drawing in material from surrounding galaxies that have been engulfed over time. The resulting interplay between these cosmic forces fuels the mesmerizing display captured in this optical image. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of both the grandeur and intricacy present within our vast universe. Science Photo Library has masterfully immortalized this momentous event through their lens, allowing us to appreciate and ponder upon the wonders that lie beyond our Earthly realm.
