@MAstronomers First observed by Pierre Méchain in 1781, the Sombrero Galaxy is a popular target for amateur and professional astronomers due to its striking appearance and its position relatively close to our own Milky Way galaxy.
The Sombrero Galaxy, also known as Messier 104 or M104, is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Virgo. It gets its name from its distinctive shape, resembling a wide-brimmed Mexican hat or a sombrero. The galaxy is approximately 28 million light-years away from Earth and is notable for its prominent dust lane that obscures part of its bright central bulge. The Sombrero Galaxy is a popular target for amateur astronomers due to its striking appearance and relatively bright magnitude.
