The Centaurus group is a collection of galaxies located in the constellation of Centaurus. It is one of the nearest galaxy groups to our own Milky Way and contains several notable galaxies, including the giant elliptical galaxy Centaurus A and the spiral galaxy Centaurus B. This group is part of the larger Centaurus constellation, which is rich in astronomical features. The Centaurus group is significant for astronomers studying galaxy formation and evolution. It provides insights into the interactions between galaxies, as many members of the group are gravitationally bound and can influence each other's structure and star formation. This makes it an important area for research in the field of cosmology.
