Astronomy on MSNThe Sky Today on Wednesday, May 21: The Sombrero GalaxyM104, also known as the Sombrero Galaxy, is an edge-on spiral visible with binoculars or a telescope in Virgo this evening.
But the Sombrero galaxy is quiet in terms of star formation compared with other galaxies such as Messier 82. Ten times as many stars are born in the latter galaxy than the estimated 100 billion ...
The mid-infrared light highlights the gas and dust that are part of star formation taking place among the Sombrero galaxy’s outer disk. The rings of the Sombrero galaxy produce less than one ...
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 ...
Scientists say the clumps in the outer dust rings are likely young star-forming regions, which is critical because the Sombrero Galaxy is by no means a prolific star factory. Another edge-on ...
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 ...
