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.
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 ...
The Sombrero Galaxy (M104) as observed by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The Sombrero Galaxy is an example of a LINER galaxy. [1] Credit: HST/NASA/ESA. A low-ionization nuclear emission-line region (LINER) is a type of galactic nucleus that is defined by its spectral line emission.
English: NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope joined forces to create this striking composite image of one of the most popular sights in the universe. Messier 104 is commonly known as the Sombrero galaxy because in visible light, it resembles the broad-brimmed Mexican hat.
The Sombrero galaxy looks entirely different in a new image by the James Webb Space Telescope. Instead of a Mexican hat, it appears more like an archery target.
Diagram of the spacecraft bus. The solar panel is in green and the light purple panels are radiators. The spacecraft bus is the primary support component of the JWST, hosting a multitude of computing, communication, electric power, propulsion, and structural parts.

The Sombrero Galaxy is a spiral galaxy in the Virgo constellation. It was discovered in the late 1700s. It was discovered in the late 1700s. It is about 28 million light years away and is just faint enough to be invisible to the naked eye but easily visible with small telescopes.
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 .
