3.10: M104 Hubble Remix


This is a picture of M104 taken by the Hubble Telescope. M104 is a spiral galaxy and is found in the constellation Virgo. The dust lanes give the galaxy a hat-like appearance and is referred to as the Sombrero Galaxy :) M104 is 50,000 light-years across and 28 million light-years away. This is an old picture, but it has been reprocessed and new details have been revealed.
