Travel beyond the Milky Way and delve into the splendour of deep space with our high-quality framed print of the Sombrero Galaxy, captured by the renowned Hubble Space Telescope. This piece of contemporary astrophotography art from CosmographyCo lets you bring the cosmos right into your home or office.
Named for its distinctive silhouette, reminiscent of a high-topped Mexican hat, the Sombrero Galaxy, Messier 104 (M104), is one of the most photogenic galaxies known to man. Its striking features include a brilliant white, bulbous core encircled by thick dust lanes that comprise the galaxy's elegant spiral structure. The fact we view it from Earth at just six degrees north of its equatorial plane gives this celestial body its distinctive sombrero-like appearance.
Features:
Residing on the southern edge of the Virgo cluster of galaxies, the Sombrero Galaxy is one of the most massive objects in this group, holding a weight equivalent to 800 billion suns. Located 30 million light-years away and spanning 50,000 light-years across, its grandeur and sheer size are a humbling spectacle, now available to adorn your walls.
