Sombrero galaxy
Sombrero galaxy. Optical image of the Sombrero galaxy (M104, NGC 4594). This spiral galaxy lies 40 million light years away in the constellation Virgo. The galaxy is seen almost edge-on. The dark stripe running across it is due to dust lying in the plane of the galaxy. It is one of the largest galaxies known, with a mass of 1.3 trillion Suns. Some of this mass is due to a supermassive black hole which is thought to lie at its centre
