The Sombrero galaxy and its glowing halo of stars have never looked this good. The latest photo of the popular hat-shaped galaxy was released on Friday. A telescope in Chile observed the popular galaxy four years ago, but the color imaging was not completed until this week. Located 30 million light-years away, this spiral galaxy is one of the largest in the constellation Virgo cluster. It’s formally known as Messier 104 and is an estimated 50,000 light-years across. Astronomers discovered the galaxy back in the 1700s.
