Centaurus A, also known as NGC 5128, is an elliptical galaxy with a distinctive peanut-like or elongated shape. This irregularity is primarily due to its interaction with a smaller galaxy, which has led to the presence of dust lanes and star-forming regions. The galaxy's structure includes a prominent central bulge and a disk-like component, giving it a unique appearance among elliptical galaxies.
