earthlingM104: The Sombrero Galaxy in Infrared
This floating ring is the size of a galaxy. In fact, it is a galaxy -- or at least part of one: the photogenic Sombrero Galaxy, one of the largest galaxies in the nearby Virgo Cluster of Galaxies. The dark band of dust that obscures the mid-section of the Sombrero Galaxy in visible light actually glows brightly in infrared light.

Good Saturday morning. Amazed how clear the sky was this morning. Finally taking the telescope out again. Starting with #M104 - #TheSombreroGalaxy. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur
Forecast noted cloudy last night. Took a peak outside this morning and was able to sneak in 30 minutes of telescope time. Decided to observe some #galaxies i have observed before. Here is #m104 #SombreroGalaxy . #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur

HimmelhvælvM104 is my favourite galaxy!
So very photogenic with its distinct dust lane around the central bulge of stars, hanging in space like a small pendant - or a Sombrero apparently. In fact it’s composed of several hundred billion individual stars and is estimated at a diameter of 50.000 lightyears so the only reason for it appearing small is its mind-melting distance of 28 million lightyears (meaning that the fastest thing in the universe - light - has travelled for 28 million years before it hit my telescope in my backyard. #M104 #sombrerogalaxy #astronomy #astrophotography #deepsky #backyardastronomy #astroshots #astrophoto #Space #universe #galaxy #universetoday #nightsky #stars #galaxy #nightphotography #skywatcher #touptek #backyardastrophotography
