COSMIC MESSAGE
M104, the Sombrero Galaxy, is named for its hat-like shape, featuring a prominent dust lane and a bright halo of stars. Something very energetic is happening in its center, which glows brightly in both visible and X-ray light. This X-ray emission and unusually high central stellar speeds suggest a black hole resides there.
