The revealing image at the top left was taken by the 4m Blanco telescope at the Cerro Tololo
Inter American Observatory in Chile and was released as recently as October 2002. Through
clever processing it clearly shows the complex system of shells of stars in the extensive
halo of Centaurus A - a result of a galaxy merger in the past.

Many of the faint arcs can also be identified in my image.
