Webb Reveals Sombrero Galaxy's Hidden Details

Webb Reveals Sombrero Galaxy's Hidden Details

Handout photo dated November 25, 2024 shows NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope recently imaged the Sombrero Galaxy with its MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument), resolving the clumpy nature of the dust along the galaxy’s outer ring. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captures the Sombrero Galaxy (Messier 104) in stunning mid-infrared detail. This oblong galaxy, named for its resemblance to a wide-brimmed hat, reveals intricate clumps of dust along its outer ring, illuminated in shades of blue and white. Speckles of stars scatter its inner disk, while distant galaxies dot the black cosmic canvas in the background. The new image, taken with Webb's MIRI instrument, offers unprecedented insight into the galaxy’s structure and the faint traces of young star-forming regions. November 25, 2024.
