Hubble Telescope Images: 2003
Sombrero Galaxy
This image reveals one of the universe's most stately and photogenic galaxies, the Sombrero galaxy. It shows the galaxy's hallmark brilliant white, bulbous core encircled by the thick dust lanes comprising its outer structure. It was named the Sombrero because of its resemblance to the broad rimmed and high-topped Mexican hat.
