Het Sombrerostelsel in nabij-infrarood licht

Astronomen hebben met behulp van het NIRCam-instrument van de Webb Space Telescope een nieuwe opname gemaakt van het Sombrerostelsel.

Op de nieuwe Webb/NIRCam-afbeelding is de enorme uitstulping van het Sombrerostelsel, de dicht opeengepakte groep sterren in het cen

The #Sombrero #Galaxy, officially known as #Messier104 (M104), is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Virgo, roughly 30 million light-years away from Earth.

Its distinctive appearance, with a luminous bulge and a sharp, dusty disk, earned it the nickname "Sombrero" due to its resemblance to a broad-brimmed Mexican hat.

Algorab – Delta Corvi

Delta Corvi is een witte subreus in het sterrenbeeld Corvus – Raaf. De ster heeft een schijnbare helderheid van magnitude 2,96 en is daarmee de op twee na helderste ster in het sterrenbeeld. Delta Corvi markeert de rechtervleugel van de hemelse raaf. Delta Corvi is ongeveer 86,9 lichtjaar van de Aarde verwijderd en het is een v

Webb maakt nieuwe opname van het Sombrero-stelsel

De scherpe resolutie van het Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) van Webb brengt details van de buitenste ring van het Sombrero-stelsel in beeld, waardoor inzicht ontstaan in de manier waarop het stof is verdeeld.

Hats Off to #NASA’s Webb: #SombreroGalaxy Dazzles in New Image
#JWST’s mid-infrared view of Sombrero galax (#Messier104), signature, glowing core seen in visible-light images does not shine, instead a smooth inner disk is revealed. Sombrero galaxy produce less than one solar mass of stars per year. Even the supermassive #blackhole, also known as an active galactic nucleus, at the center of the Sombrero galaxy is rather docile, even at a hefty 9-billion-solar masses.

NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has trained its razor-sharp eye on one of the universe's most stately and photogenic galaxies, the Sombrero galaxy, Messier 104 (M104). The galaxy's hallmark is a brilliant white, bulbous core encircled by the thick dust lanes comprising the spiral structure of the galaxy. As seen from Earth, the galaxy is tilted nearly edge-on. We view it from just six degrees north of its equatorial plane. This brilliant galaxy was named the Sombrero because of its resemblance to the broad rim and high-topped Mexican hat.

At a relatively bright magnitude of +8, M104 is just beyond the limit of naked-eye visibility and is easily seen through small telescopes. The Sombrero lies at the southern edge of the rich Virgo cluster of galaxies and is one of the most massive objects in that group, equivalent to 800 billion suns. The galaxy is 50,000 light-years across and is located 30 million light-years from Earth.
