Almost every amateur astronomer is familiar with the Sombrero Galaxy (also known as M104 or NGC 4594) – an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo We’ve seen it in both small and large.

M104, The Sombrero Galaxy Click image for full size version June 1, 14 The Sombrero galaxy is in the southern sky from my 43 degree north latitude, in the constellation Corvus, the Crow It’s a large spiral galaxy and shows a prominent dark lane of dust and cold gas. The nickname arises from the galaxy’s resemblance to the traditional Mexican headwear, the bright nuclear bulge forming the hat and the spiral arms/dust lane the wide brim Although M104 is located in Virgo, the best launch point for a starhop is from the 3rd magnitude star delta (δ) Corvi (refer to the accompanying chart) About 2½.

The Sombrero Galaxy, also called M104 or NGC 4594, is about 28 million lightyears from our planet in the constellation Virgo It is so named because the halo surrounding its disc is unusually. Way out in the direction of the constellation Virgo, some 31 million lightyears from Earth, astronomers have found a most unlikely looking galaxy that is hiding a supermassive black hole at its heart Its technical name is M104, but most people refer to it by its nickname the "Sombrero Galaxy". M104, more commonly known as the Sombrero Galaxy, is a spectacular almost edgeon spiral galaxy in Virgo At magnitude 84, it appears in binoculars as a small patch of nebulosity.

The magnetic field orientation in M 104 ispredominantly parallel to the disk but has also vertical components atlarger zdistances from the disk This field configuration is typicalfor normal edgeon spiral galaxies The 345 GHz data pertain to the colddust content of the galaxy. Explanation The striking spiral galaxy M104 is famous for its nearly edgeon profile featuring a broad ring of obscuring dust lanes Seen in silhouette against an extensive bulge of stars, the swath of cosmic dust lends a broad brimmed hatlike appearance to the galaxy suggesting the more popular moniker, The Sombrero Galaxy.

An image of M 104, the Sombrero Galaxy, located in the constellation Virgo The Maiden M 104 has a large central bulge of aging red stars and a thick dust band that gives it its distinctive shape May is the best month to view this object Gary Zientara. While M104 is known to be embedded in a long, filamentlike arrangement of galaxies, it remains unclear whether or not the galaxy is a member of a closely related group of galaxies One method of determining group membership, known as the “hierarchical method”, suggests that M104 is a member of a group that includes NGC 4487, NGC 4504, NGC 4802, UGCA 2, and perhaps a few outliers.

M104 Sombrero Galaxy posted in Beginning Deep Sky Imaging Since this DSO doesnt rise that high and it rises over my spotlightloving neighbors house, I never seriously considered it a viable target But I decided to capture a couple of frames just to see and I was encouraged by what popped up on my phone So I spent a couple of hours imaging it and Im pretty happy with the results. Hubble’s sharp vision reveals a crisp dust lane dividing M102, also known as the Spindle galaxy, into two halves This edgeon view of M102 highlights the galaxy’s structure a subtle, reddish bulge surrounding a bright nucleus, a blue disk of stars running parallel to the dust lane, and a transparent outer halo. M104 is a nearly "edgeon" spiral galaxy and is commonly referred to as the Sombrero Galaxy because of its distinctive dark dust lane which bisects the galaxy M106 is located about 30 million light years from Earth and has a diameter of roughly 50,000 light years M104 contains a supermassive black hole at its center, with a mass of 1 billion.
