The Sombrero Galaxy (also known as Messier Object 104, M104 [4] or NGC 4594) is a peculiar galaxy of unclear classification [5] in the constellation borders of Virgo and Corvus, being about 9.55 megaparsecs (31.1 million light-years) [2] from the Milky Way galaxy.
Galaxy morphological classification is a system used by astronomers to divide galaxies into groups based on their visual appearance. There are several schemes in use by which galaxies can be classified according to their morphologies, the most famous being the Hubble sequence , devised by Edwin Hubble and later expanded by Gérard de ...
NGC 7814 (also known as UGC 8 or Caldwell 43) is a spiral galaxy about 40 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus.The galaxy is seen edge-on from Earth.It is sometimes referred to as "the little sombrero", a miniature version of Messier 104.
But the Sombrero galaxy is quiet in terms of star formation compared with other galaxies such as Messier 82. Ten times as many stars are born in the latter galaxy than the estimated 100 billion ...
The Sombrero galaxy, named for its resemblance to the Mexican hat, is about 30 million light-years from Earth. ... A comparison of the Hubble telescope and Webb telescope images of the Sombrero ...

Listed below are galaxies with diameters greater than 700,000 light-years. This list uses the mean cosmological parameters of the Lambda-CDM model based on results from the 2015 Planck collaboration, where H 0 = 67.74 km/s/Mpc, Ω Λ = 0.6911, and Ω m = 0.3089. [3]
The largest known spiral galaxy, it has a diameter of over 665,300 light-years (204.0 kiloparsecs). [3] It is tidally disturbed by the smaller lenticular galaxy IC 4970. [4] Cosmos Redshift 7: Sextans: The name of this galaxy is based on a Redshift (z) measurement of nearly 7 (actually, z = 6.604). [5]
