The majestic Sombrero galaxy captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. This galaxy is 50,000 light-years across and is instantly recognizable by its brilliant white core encircled by thick dust lanes.

1. The video pans slowly across a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on, highlighting its bright central core and a dense, dark dust lane bisecting it horizontally. The thin disk extends from the central bulge, glowing against the darkness of space scattered with distant stars and faint galaxies. It concludes by zooming out to capture the entire galaxy.
