Sombrero Galaxy
This magnificent galaxy has a diameter of nearly one-fifth the diameter of the full moon. The photo reveals a swarm of stars in a pancake-shaped disk as well as a glowing central halo of stars. The Hubble Heritage team of astronomers, who assemble many of the NASA Hubble Space Telescope's most stunning pictures, is celebrating its five-year anniversary with the release of the picturesque Sombrero galaxy. The team used Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys to take six pictures of the galaxy and then stitched them together to create the final composite image.
