The Sombrero Galaxy, M104 // Rick Veregin

Seen in this very deep image, the Sombrero Galaxy is surrounded by a faint halo of stars. This halo, combined with its population of globular clusters, had led astronomers to believe that M104 merged with a small companion galaxy in the past. In fact, you can see a tidal tail (or arc) looping around the Sombrero, indicative of a merger about 3 billion years ago.

Sombrero Galaxy

M104, the Sombrero - an attractive target for amateur astronomers; an edge-on spiral galaxy with an emphatic dark dust lane. #astronomy #rantalert

M104, NGC 4594 in Virgo Image exposure: 149 min 52 secImage field of view: 24 x 16 arcminImage date: 2022-05-06 M104 is a very attractive target for amateur astronomers. Famed for its hat-like appearance, it is an edge-on spiral galaxy with an emphatic dark dust lane asymmetrically bisecting a very bright bulging nucleus. At magnitude +8, the Sombrero is easily picked out in small telescopes.…

Messier 104 : A gorgeous spiral galaxy, Messier 104 is famous for its nearly edge-on profile featuring a broad ring of obscuring dust lanes. Seen in silhouette against an extensive central bulge of stars, the swath of cosmic dust lends a broad brimmed hat-like appearance to the galaxy suggesting a more popular moniker, the Sombrero Galaxy. This sharp view of the well-known galaxy was made from over 10 hours of Hubble Space Telescope image data, processed to bring out faint details often lost in the overwhelming glare of M104's bright central bulge. Also known as NGC 4594, the Sombrero galaxy can be seen across the spectrum, and is host to a central supermassive black hole. About 50,000 light-years across and 28 million light-years away, M104 is one of the largest galaxies at the southern edge of the Virgo Galaxy Cluster. Still, the spiky foreground stars in this field of view lie well within our own Milky Way. via NASA

SPACEMAS DAY 22 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕

This floating ring is a galaxy, or at least part of one. This is the photogenic Sombrero Galaxy, one of the largest galaxies in the nearby Virgo Cluster of Galaxies. Typically, there’s a dark band of dust that obscures the mid-section of the Sombrero Galaxy in optical light. But in infrared light, it actually glows brightly. The featured image, digitally sharpened, shows this infrared glow. It was recorded by the orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope and then superposed in false-color on an existing image taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in visible light. The Sombrero Galaxy, also known as M104, spans about 50,000 light years across and lies 28 million light years away. M104 can be seen with a small telescope in the direction of the constellation Virgo.

Explanation: This floating ring is the size of a galaxy. In fact, it is a galaxy -- or at least part of one: the photogenic Sombrero Galaxy, one of the largest galaxies in the nearby Virgo Cluster of Galaxies. The dark band of dust that obscures the mid-section of the Sombrero Galaxy in optical light actually glows brightly in infrared light. The featured image, digitally sharpened, shows the infrared glow, recently recorded by the orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope, superposed in false-color on an existing image taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in visible light. The Sombrero Galaxy, also known as M104, spans about 50,000 light years across and lies 28 million light years away. M104 can be seen with a small telescope in the direction of the constellation Virgo.
