The Sombrero Galaxy from VLT

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Sombrero Galaxy, also known as M104, appears hat-like due to its large central bulge and prominent, nearly edge-on dust lanes. Billions of old stars populate the central bulge, while the dust rings contain younger, brighter stars and intricate details. This image comes from the Very Large Telescope.
