The well-known "Sombrero" galaxy M104 (NGC 4594) in Virgo. This is
an excellent example of the early-type Sa spirals, with tightly-wound spiral
arms (in fact, they can be difficult to trace when seen this close to edge-on)
and a large-luminous bulge. The dense dust lane in this disk gives the galaxy
its common name.
