Just looking at a galaxy as seen from our line of sight. it is edge on.
It is beautiful. It glows from top to bottom. It has a very bright
hub. It has a round dark outer edge. If the Hubble only took this one
picture it would be worth every penny. You see I'm looking at the
Sombrero galaxy. Its picture tell us its worth a billion words. bert

Here's M104, the Sombrero galaxy...

Are you sleeping?
Stars are waiting,
Shining high they wait for you.

Are you looking?
Stars are soaring,
Flashing, twinkling just for you.
