Messier 104
Messier 104, also called the Sombrero Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy seen nearly edge-on. Its broad ring of obscuring dust lanes, silhouetted against a central bulge of stars, gives it a hat-like appearance. This galaxy, about 50,000 light-years across and 28 million light-years away, hosts a supermassive black hole at its center.
