Here is the famous Sombrero Galaxy (also known as M104). This galaxy was discovered in 1781 and has been a favorite for generations. It is a great example of a "lens-shaped" galaxy and has a dense accretion disc that is beautifully silhouetted by over 400 billion stars.I captured the light of these 400 billion suns at the recent TSP.

Beautiful! Just so solitary and stark.
Bob-san! Thanks for the comment! I don't get many comments at all, but I guess folks stop by anyway because the hit meter keeps going up (or maybe that's just me).
My comments have vanished too, then again I am not as a studious blogger as I once was. I think it's the trend thing. "Blogger" is supposed to be so uncool. Now the "cool" thing is Facebook which has and continues to explode.
