The Webb telescope reveals the Sombrero galaxy’s dusty and turbulent history in a new stunning near-infrared portrait.

M104, also known as the Sombrero Galaxy, is an edge-on spiral visible with binoculars or a telescope in Virgo this evening.

Look due south to find magnitude 1.0 alpha star Spica, “ear of wheat ... M90 and M104, the famed Sombrero Galaxy. Astronomers realized about 100 years ago that the Virgo Cluster and the ...

That distinctive look is what has made it aptly known as the "Sombrero Galaxy." The central bulge of the galaxy is densely packed with stars, and the disk is crowded with faint dust lanes ...

Despite its brightness, the Sombrero Galaxy isn’t very busy. It forms only about one Sun’s worth of stars each year. Compared to the Milky Way, it is slightly larger but harder to study.

Despite this dynamic visual, the galaxy experiences surprisingly low star formation, producing less than one solar mass of new stars per year. Interestingly, the Sombrero Galaxy contains a massive ...

The Sombrero Galaxy is found to have metal-rich stars in its outer region. This research has a future scope of getting deeper insights into its formation by using the advanced imaging technique of ...

Given the extreme angle at which it is viewed, astronomers are unsure if the Sombrero is a spiral galaxy or an elliptical galaxy. While it is packed with stars and hosts a supermassive black hole ...

Despite being absolutely packed with stars, the Sombrero Galaxy is, perhaps unexpectedly, not very active when it comes to star formation. According to the ESA, less than one times the mass of our ...
