M104, on the Virgo-Corvus Constellation border, is usually accepted as a member of the Virgo Cluster of Galaxies.
M104, also known as the Sombrero Galaxy is named because of its distinctive large center and the dark lane of dust that runs along the equatorial plane of this spiral galaxy, seen only 6o degrees from edge-on.

M104 is numerically the first object of the catalog which was not included in Messier's originally published catalog.
However, Charles Messier added it by hand to his personal copy on May 11, 1781, and described it as a "very faint nebula." It was Camille Flammarion who found that its position coincided with Herschel's H I.43, which is the Sombrero Galaxy (NGC 4594), and added it to the official Messier list in 1921.
M104 is the dominating member of a small group of galaxies, the M104 group or NGC 4594 group of galaxies.
