Sombrero Galaxy - Poster

Discover the stunning Sombrero Galaxy, located 30 million light-years away in Virgo. Named for its resemblance to a Mexican hat, this galaxy features a luminous bulge and a sharply defined, dusty disc viewed nearly edge-on. Despite its vast star population, it forms less than one solar mass of new stars yearly, with a calm supermassive black hole at its core—9 billion solar masses, over 2000 times larger than the Milky Way’s. Too faint for the naked eye but visible with a modest telescope, this galactic marvel spans a third of the Moon’s diameter in the sky. This breathtaking print, a mosaic of Hubble images, showcases the galaxy’s glowing core and intricate disc against a star-speckled cosmic backdrop
