Sooo I actually chose this one because a long time ago Percy convinced us that M104 was the M object in Casseopeia and ever since then I always wanted to know what M104 actually was. And now I know! Turns out that usually in pictures of M104 the dusty lanes around the bright region in the center aren't very well defined. In this picture, which is an archived Hubble picture, they did some funky redoing thign to it so that now you can see the dusty lanes even close to the center. Obviously it's a side on picture of the galaxy at the edge of the Virgo Galaxy cluster.
