The Spitzer Space Telescope's penetrating infrared cameras recorded this startling vista in February 2004. The parallelogram lies along the active galaxy's central band of dust and stars . Astronomers believe that the striking geometric shape represents an approximately edge-on view of the infalling spiral galaxy's disk in the process of being twisted and warped by the interaction . Ultimately , debris from the ill-fated spiral galaxy should provide fuel for the supermassive black hole lurking at the center of Centaurus .

Pulsars have huge advantages over a traditional deep space satellite network to fix a ship's position  it doesn’t scale and costs a fortune . Autonomous navigation is clearly preferable , tying the navigation system to natural objects like pulsars . 0160 Pulsars rank at or near the top of freaky phenomena found in our Universe .
