The Sombrero Hat Galaxy
Imagine dropping out of hyperlight flight five light years away and slightly above the galactic plane of the Sombrero Galaxy. Would the bridge of your interstellar research ship be bathed in the immense stellar glow of this beautiful galaxy? What a sight that would be! As mentioned in earlier posts, this galaxy is is one of my favorites. It is very photogenic and can be easily seen by the amateur astronomer.
