     Even though it is called the sombrero galaxy I personally believe that it looks more like a UFO. M 104 the sombrero galaxy is famous for its ring that seems to be edge on. The picture above was taken by the Hubble Space telescope and was reprocessed so that the color would show up to make it seem natural. This galaxy can be seen across the spectrum and many believe that it has a black hole in its center which spans about 50,000 light years across. This galaxy is one of the largest galaxies that is located at the southern end of the Virgo galaxy cluster.
