Description: Sombrero Galaxy (M104)
This spiral galaxy in Virgo is nearly edge on to our Earth-based view. Spectroscopic
observations indicate that a billion-solar-mass black hole is located at the galaxy’s
center. You can see the bright region in the galaxy’s center created by stars and gas
that orbit the black hole.
