Description
«Sombrero» is the central composition from the album «Music of Celestial Spheres — part 4 — under the starry sky of Spain » by Andrey Klimkovsky. The single of the same name dedicated to her was released in March 1998 — two months before the album's release and was part of its promotion. For the single «Sombrero» Andrey Klimkovsky created three different versions of the composition of the same name — very different stylistically — and none of them ended up in the album — one more version was made for the album. To them were added an expanded version of «Columbiad» — twice as long as the album version and a new version of the composition «Fast intergalactic stars» originating from the previous album of the cycle.
In 2001, Andrey Klimkovsky reworked the maxi-single «Sombrero», remastering the previously recorded tracks and adding to them one more — completely new and not found in other albums — the play «A lone guitar in the night».
Galaxy M104 is located in the constellation Virgo and is known as «Sombrero».
The first time this space object got into the star catalogs back in the 18th century and did it, the legendary Frenchman Charles Messier for the first time collected in one list all the suspicious foggy objects in the sky, which comet hunters took for another prey, as a result of which they later became disappointedly sad. In the fields of this catalog, some objects were marked with unique "aliases". This hazy Spot has been dubbed the «Sombrero» for its visual resemblance to a wide-brimmed Spanish hat.
A little over a century later, the object M104 «Sombrero» was assigned to the class of galaxies - it became clear that this is a very distant and very large stellar island (or maybe a city - different comparisons and allegories are allowed here) of a spiral type and by chance visible to us edge-on.
The «Sombrero» galaxy is estimated to be 50,000 light years across (slightly smaller than the size of our Galaxy, but still considered significant on the scale of the galactic world). The distance to this stellar island is 28 million light years.
