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.
NGC 5746 (also known as the Mini Sombrero Galaxy [3] [4]) is a barred spiral galaxy located in the eastern part of the constellation of Virgo. It was discovered on 24 February 1786 by German-British astronomer William Herschel . [ 5 ]
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.
The galaxy — also known as Messier 104, or M104 — is about 30 million light-years from Earth in the Virgo constellation. French astronomer and comet hunter Pierre Méchain discovered it in 1781.

[citation needed] Malin 1: Coma Berenices: Discovered and named by David Malin. [citation needed] Meathook Galaxy: Volans: After its appearance resembling a meathook. [citation needed ...
NGC 5850 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. Its speed relative to the cosmic microwave background is 2,735 ± 13 km/s, [2] which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 40.3 ± 2.8 Mpc (~131 million ly). [3] NGC 5850 was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 24 February 1786. [4]
A companion galaxy, NGC 5363, is located to the north of NGC 5364 and their gravitational interaction may be influencing the peculiar morphology of the latter. [ 3 ] The mid-infrared emission in the nucleus appears weak compared to the spiral arms, suggesting a low rate of star formation in the core region. [ 4 ]
