#PPOD: In this July 6, 2026, image, NASA’s JWST’s Mid-Infrared Instrument reveals the nearby galaxy Centaurus A, exposing the dusty structures and hidden activity that shape this unusual system. Unlike most nearby galaxies, it is very active, making it a powerful laboratory for understanding how galaxies and black holes grow and evolve together.
