Quick find: Sombrero Galaxy

In this little video we'll show you how to find the beautiful Sombrero Galaxy. This is easy to spot and is a very distinctive looking galaxy. The galaxy is about 28 million light years away near the constellation of Corvus. We start by showing you how to find Corvus and assume you already know how to find the Southern Cross. If you don't know how to find the Southern Cross then watch our video called "How to Find The Southern Cross". Try this out and let us know if you found the Sombrero Galaxy.

Milky-Way.Kiwi is a social enterprise for quality and affordable access to the night sky run by professional space science communicators. We provide educational services for teachers and schools – Spaceward Bound NZ, stargazing and astronomy and space courses and programmes for the public – Star Safari and we write about space and astronomy with a New Zealand perspective. 

At Star Safari, everyone 15 and younger is FREE because we believe that young people should not pay for inspiration.
