Summary[edit | edit source]

This James Webb Space Telescope image showcases the Sombrero galaxy (Messier 104) in mid-infrared light, captured by the MIRI instrument. The galaxy's distinctive glowing core from visible light is replaced by a smooth inner disk in this view, while its outer ring reveals intricate clumps of dust. These features provide insights into dust distribution and star-forming regions. The galaxy, located 30 million light-years away in Virgo, is home to a docile supermassive black hole, globular clusters, and a background of various other galaxies.
