  • too bad it won't be reached for a loooooong time.

  • So we live in the milk way galaxy? So theres a good chance that their is another civilization like us within the Sombrero galaxy?

  • The most beautiful object in existence

  • I don't believe in religion but come on, there has to be some sort of designer, a god a Jedi or something! Nature is so damn beautiful! I don't want to go to heaven when I die, I want to roam in space and travel really fast to the last corner of it!

  • 1:46= not 60 seconds. 360p= not HD. Epic fail on title.

  • my favorite galaxy in the whole wide universe :]

  • Definetly my favourite galaxy.

  • Im wearing a sombrero at the moment..Although i do have to take it off wen i walk out the room....To grande

  • Comment removed

  • God is Mexican

  • @zaratus LOLOLOLOLOL

  • is this were illegal aliens come from?

  • thats the sombrero chuck norms wears

  • @pileofblocks FAIL.

  • @pileofblocks dude just shut up

  • The Party hard Galaxy

  • subhanallah allahuakbar... !!!!

  • @didijacko BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­M!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    D-B oh the humanity!!!!! why did you have to do that?!?!

  • Why don't you speed up the video and show it spinning

  • ths most amazing thing to think whe u see stuff like that, is that pre historic animals were still roaming earth when this galaxy was like that, so, when u stared at sombrero galaxy on this video, 28 millions light years away from that, all those crazy pre historic animals were right here where WE are right now. isnt that awesome??

  • 28million year old picture!

  • HALO is reacting! Call Master Chief! NOW!

  • 'Nearby'  lol

  • @PoweredDown i lol'd too :)

  • My previous comments are based on the assumption that the Sombrero's ring diameter is around 60,000 LY. After looking around on the web a bit more, it seems the diameter could actually be around 120,000 LY, in which case it would be about the same size as Hoag's ring, and there would be no reason for me to suppose its core is antimatter. Instead, the optimal place to look for antimatter would, I'd suppose, be halfway between the ring and the core.

  • Seriously ....Nerds!

  • For what it's worth, 10^21 meters is equal to the size of a proton (10^-15 meters) multipled by the ratio of electromagnetic force to gravity force (10^36) existing between two protons. The idea is holographic in nature, relating the ratio of diameters of objects (that might be described as force-generated objects) inversely to the strengths of the reponsible forces. It's analogous to saying that doubling of the energy of a probe particle allows it to probe structures half the size as before.

  • I have a simple quantum gravity idea, defining a graviton by incorporating a wave with a wavelength of around 10^21 meters (100,000 L-Y) as a correction to Newton's 1/r^2-proportional factor. I've suggested it explains the ring diameter as a cosine maxima (cos[2pi]=+1) of some ring galaxies. The idea assumed the graviton is always emitted in full positive phase (cos[0]=+1). If you replace this idea with the negative cosine for a negative mass, you get the maxima at half-distance (-cos[pi]=+1)

  • I'll take back the part about it being a "cold" type of anti-particle star. Sorry about that. I still would suggest it could be an anti-particle star, seems it would have to be something exotic like that asit appears it's much larger and brighter than a regular non-exotic matter star can be.

  • I get the impression the core's made of anti-particles, in any event, comparing it to Hoag's ring galaxy, Hoag's core is much yellower and its ring is about twice the diameter of the Sombrero's ring, and Hoag's ring is not a dark ring, as it has a large population of stars in it. I can't get the idea out of my head that the core of this galaxy is like a cold Bose-Einstein condensate of anti-neutrons, an anti-neutron star of sorts. Oh well, there I go being scientificopolitically incorrect again.

  • Its probably where Heaven is.

  • been there done that..

  • im going there next week!

  • Sombrero Galaxy? I would have to guess a Mexican found this galaxy.

  • ...Olé!

  • And some people say there is no God when they see this Ya right.

  • This may sound a little dumb to some of you here, but I've never studied astronomy or anything like this. I just want to know exactly what the term 'light years' means, is it, how many years it would take someone to arrive at a specific destination whilst travelling at the speed of light or was my science teach talking out of her ass 4 years ago?

  • @kosovanwhizkid 1 light year is the distance light travels in one year. Simple as that. your science teacher wasn't talking out of her ass.

  • @kosovanwhizkid

    Take the constant, the speed of light as 186,000 miles per second. Now, how many seconds in a year?

    60 sec X 60 min X 24 hr X 365 days X 186,000 = 5,865,696,000,000 0r 5.865 Trillion miles in a year

  • I'm blown away how far away it is and how far it stretches.

  • It is amazing how big the universe is.

  • the way the government is ran today we will never reach what is called the next step to success. they will bicker about that for another 100 yrs and another... Nearly 50 yrs later they just now got the health form half as* going & we still Can't make a Duracell battery that can last a life time unless your bill gates. we are sitting ducks to the REAL Other Solar planet-teers who have their organization skills correct. Were doomed till we can stop being greedy and work together as 1 team

  • Warp drive or speed is the only way to get there. Theorectically it can be done, the problem is harnessing the immense power that is needed to warp space time.

  • 28 million light years away........holy shit

  • damn when humanity will go to those galaxies

  • ufo/free energy disclosure should have been done along time ago so we can get the show on the road.

  • how work this site

  • immagine trying to wear that

  • SORRY I MEANT TO OUR SUN

  • A good video but it needs to say less about the images and more about the facts!

  • looks kinda like the halo in Halo

  • lol

  • Get high on this

    OLIVORTEX on myspace

  • Amazing to think, the picture you are seeing is 29 million years old give or take a few million years, for all we know theres been some massive supernova in it, wont see it for millions of years

  • 29 million LIGHTyears.

    so for us human it woud take 75000 years to travel to the NEXT star.

  • Ya , but the picture you are seeing has been travelling for 29 million earth years at the speed of light, if there is a supernova today in the sombrero galaxy, we wont be able to see it for another 29 million years. A while to wait lol...

  • RIGHT

  • @Carcass1701 Actually we see it "now" because there is no other way to see it other than by its EM radiation - and relativity says that's as fast as possible, so any such speculations are intrinsically meaningless as there is no way to verify them. The farther away things are, the more meaningless is the concept of "now" in the sense we use for terrestrial objects.

  • a galaxy i one day would love to visit

  • count me in

  • well maybe not in this lifetime lol

  • at current speed of our rocket, it will take 14,000 billion years to get there. that is 14 trillion years to get there. by the time earth and our sun's life has ended (in 5 billion years) you would have only travelled 0.04% of the journey. i think it is very very very far away

  • so this galaxy is 120,000 light years across?

  • 50,000 light years across.

    our milky way is 100,000 light years across but only 1000 light years thick. its like a dics with a swollen centre

  • @uuukkjj I know your feeling.

  • @uuukkjj It has 800 billion suns, it would burn your ass up lol. Looks amazing though huh?

  • so cool

  • this gives you a good idea on the nature of nature..sirs..

  • Fascinating what a Chandra/Spitzer/Hubble combination can do
