NASAs James Webb Space Telescope just recently imaged the Sombrero Galaxy with its NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera), which reveals dust from the galaxys outer ring obstructing stellar light from stars within the galaxy.
In the main region of the galaxy, the roughly 2,000 globular clusters, or collections of numerous thousands of old stars held together by gravity, radiance in the near-infrared.
The Sombrero Galaxy is around 30 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo.
From Earth, we see this galaxy almost edge-on, or from the side.Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScIRead More.
