Comments Name: Sombrero Galaxy - M104
Sombrero Galaxy is a edge-on spiral galaxy about 50 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It has a bright nucleus, an unusually large central bulge, and a prominent dust lane in its inclined disk. The dark dust lane and the bulge give this galaxy the appearance of a sombrero. The large bulge, the central supermassive black hole and the dust lane all attract the attention of professional astronomers.
