Sombrero galaxy

The Sombrero galaxy was discovered on May 11, 1781, by Pierre Mechain. It is located in the Virgo constellation and has a massive black hole in the center of it. During a clear dark sky, the Sombrero galaxy can be spotted using binoculars and a large telescope. The galaxy is about 30% the size of the milky way and has a very bright nucleus. Thick dust lanes make up the brim of the galaxy. The brim winds into the brilliant white crown made up of a central bulge of older stars.

    Interesting stuff! Next time, though, write it all in your own words rather than copy and pasting. What does the Sombrero galaxy make you wonder next?
