Detailed study of the nearby radio galaxy Cen A = NGC 5128 with the imaging detectors on board the Einstein X-ray Observatory reveals X-ray emission associated with several components of the galaxy: the compact nucleus; an X-ray jet pointed toward the NE radio lobes; the ''middle'' NE radio lobe; the disk or dust lane; and diffuse emission extending several arc minutes around the nucleus.
