NASA’s Space Telescope Captured Breathtaking Details of the Sombrero Galaxy’s Rings 30 Million Light Years Away NASA's James ...

Infrared light reveals the galaxy to be a docile place, rather than the shining, roiling 'Sombrero' seen in visible light.

The Sombrero galaxy, or Messier 104 or M104, is roughly 30 million light-years from the Earth in the Virgo constellation.

Previously, when NASA’s now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope observed the Sombrero galaxy, the outer ring appeared smooth, but Webb’s new imagery reveals the complex, clumpy nature of the dusty ...

NEOWISE, NASA’s retired infrared telescope, has tracked numerous near-Earth objects and discovered a rare comet since 2013.

The outer ring of the galaxy, which appeared smoother in images taken by the Spitzer Space Telescope, but lumpy in the Hubble visible light images, is revealed in infrared for the first time.

A genuine technological gem, the James Webb Space Telescope has been exploring the smallest nooks of the Universe over the last two years. From the birth of planets and the first galaxies to the ...

Interstellar dust blocks the visible light emitted by the region, but it is revealed in this image by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope which captures infrared light that can penetrate dust clouds.

The complex clustering of the galaxy's outer ring, which appeared "smooth like a blanket" in the 2005 images from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, was revealed for the first time in the Webb ...
