- Description
English: The famous Sombrero galaxy (M104) is a bright nearby spiral galaxy. The prominent dust lane and halo of stars and globular clusters give this galaxy its name. Something very energetic is going on in the Sombrero's center, as much X-ray light has been detected from it. This X-ray emission coupled with unusually high central stellar velocities cause many astronomers to speculate that a black hole lies at the Sombrero's center - a black hole a billion times the mass of our Sun.
Français : La fameuse galaxie du Sombrero (M104) est une galaxie spirale proche et particulierement brillante. La bande de poussières et le halo des étoiles et des amas globulaires lui ont donné son nom. Des évènements très énergetiques ont lieu dans le centre de cette galaxie et produisent de nombreux rayons X. Cette forte emission dans le X ainsi que la vitesse anormalement élevée des étoiles près de son centre font que beaucoup d'astronomes supposent qu'un trou noir se trouve au centre de cette galaxie. Un trou noir pesant un milliard de fois la masse du soleil.
Español: La famosa galaxia de Sombrero (M104) es una galaxia de la escalera luminosa de caracol cercana. La senda de polvo prominente, el halo de estrellas y los racimos globulares dan su nombre a esta galaxia. Una energía muy intensa puede observarse en el centro del Sombrero, debido a la gran cantidad de luz proveniente del centro. Esta emisión de la Radiografía (luz potente) acoplada con extraordinarias velocidades estelares centrales altas causa muchas astrónomas especulares por el agujero negro ubicado al centro del Sombrero - un agujero negro un mil millones veces más grande que la masa de nuestro Sol.
