M 104 (also known as NGC 4594 or The Sombrero Galaxy) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. The galaxy is about 32 mio. lightyears away and has a very bright core and bulge, which contains a supermassive black hole. A very prominent dust lane is visible - this dust lane is actually a symmetrical ring that encloses the bulge and is the primary site of star formation in this galaxy.
