A brand new image snapped by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveals the intricate details of the core of the distant "Sombrero Galaxy." This galaxy, officially known as Messier 104 (M104), is situated some 30 million light-years from our planet.

The Sombrero galaxy, which is about the size of the Milky Way, is positioned some 30 million light-years away. The Webb telescope has several different instruments, but most of the widely shared images you've seen come from an infrared imager known as NIRCam.

By Dean Murray via SWNS Space scientists have captured a startling new image of the so-called Sombrero galaxy. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope snapped a mid-infrared view of Messier 104

The signature, glowing core of the galaxy seen in visible-light images does not shine, and instead a smooth inner disk is revealed in the Webb image
