M104, the famous Sombrero Galaxy, dubbed so due to its rather hat shaped design, near perfect edge, and the bright bulge emanating from the center. Quite the spectral, especially when enhanced with beautiful images from the Hubble and Subaru. It can be seen across the spectrum and supposedly is the host of a super-massive black hole, which is pretty crazy given its size of 50,000 light years across. Located 28 million light years away, it is one of the largest galaxies located in the Virgo galaxy cluster.
