The #Sombrero #Galaxy, officially known as #Messier104 (M104), is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Virgo, roughly 30 million light-years away from Earth.

Its distinctive appearance, with a luminous bulge and a sharp, dusty disk, earned it the nickname "Sombrero" due to its resemblance to a broad-brimmed Mexican hat.

Hats Off to #NASA’s Webb: #SombreroGalaxy Dazzles in New Image
#JWST’s mid-infrared view of Sombrero galax (#Messier104), signature, glowing core seen in visible-light images does not shine, instead a smooth inner disk is revealed. Sombrero galaxy produce less than one solar mass of stars per year. Even the supermassive #blackhole, also known as an active galactic nucleus, at the center of the Sombrero galaxy is rather docile, even at a hefty 9-billion-solar masses.
