The Centaurus Group is a collection of galaxies located in the constellation of Centaurus. It is one of the closest galaxy groups to Earth, situated about 13 million light-years away. The group contains several notable galaxies, including the giant elliptical galaxy Centaurus A, which is known for its active supermassive black hole. This galaxy group is part of the larger Centaurus constellation, which is visible in the southern hemisphere. The Centaurus Group plays a significant role in the study of galaxy formation and evolution, providing astronomers with valuable insights into the dynamics of galaxy interactions and the behavior of dark matter.
