Hubble Revisits Magnificent Sombrero Galaxy in Stunning New Image : ScienceAlert
SHARE

The Sombrero Galaxy (Messier 104) has long been a favorite subject for astronomers, and now a new image release celebrates 35 years of Hubble operations. Located 31 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo, this peculiar galaxy is a sight to behold.

What sets the Sombrero Galaxy apart is its unique orientation that gives it the appearance of a disk with a glowing center. With characteristics of both spiral and elliptical galaxies, it falls somewhere in between the two categories, making it truly one-of-a-kind.

One of the most striking features of the Sombrero Galaxy is its thick dust lanes that give it the appearance of a fancy hat. This feature, along with its intricate details and faintly speckled background, has been captured in a new image reprocessed with advanced techniques.

Despite its brightness and abundance of stars, the Sombrero Galaxy is not very active in star formation, producing only about one Sun’s worth of new stars per year. Its nearly edge-on orientation and extremely bright center make it challenging to study, but observations from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed fascinating details, including clumpy dust around the outer edge and an active supermassive black hole at its center.

The dust lanes and spiral structure around the galaxy’s outer reaches contrast with the bright bulge in the center, creating a unique and captivating appearance. Whether you’re a professional astronomer or an amateur stargazer, the Sombrero Galaxy is a true joy to behold.

You can download wallpaper-sized versions of the new image on the ESA Hubble website and marvel at the beauty of this spectacular galaxy.
