Centaurus B is a giant elliptical galaxy located about 12 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Centaurus. It is one of the closest galaxies to our own Milky Way and is part of the Centaurus Cluster, which contains many other galaxies. This galaxy is notable for its large size and bright core, which is home to a supermassive black hole. Centaurus B is also known for its rich collection of stars and globular clusters, making it an interesting subject for astronomers studying galaxy formation and evolution.
