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.
The galaxy is seen edge-on from Earth. It is sometimes referred to as "the little sombrero", a miniature version of Messier 104 . The star field behind NGC 7814 is known for its density of faint, remote galaxies as can be seen in the image here, in the same vein as the Hubble Deep Field .
NGC 5746 is located at a distance of 99 million light years [7] and is seen nearly edge-on, bearing a strong resemblance with the galaxy NGC 4565, that is also seen nearly edge-on. Galaxy NGC 5746, by HST. As with the former, it has a box-shaped bulge that is actually a bar seen from one side [7] and a currently modest star formation activity. [8]
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a surprising new view of a long-studied galactic neighbor, the Sombrero galaxy, revealing a perspective that looks quite different from the wide-brimmed ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has returned incredible new photos of the Sombrero galaxy, offering a new look at the region. The Sombrero galaxy, named for its resemblance to the Mexican hat ...
NGC 4564 is an elliptical galaxy located about 57 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Virgo. [3] NGC 4564 was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 15, 1784. [4] The galaxy is also a member of the Virgo Cluster. [5] [6] NGC 4564 has an estimated population of 213 ± 31 globular clusters. [7]
A1689-zD1 is a galaxy in the Virgo constellation. It was a candidate for the most distant and therefore earliest-observed galaxy discovered as of February 2008, based on a photometric redshift. [1] [2] If the redshift, z~7.6, [3] is correct, it would explain why the galaxy's faint light reaches us at infrared wavelengths.
